Thermogenics Boilers

THERMOGENICS BOILERS successful in that particular niche. Heppell ex- plains the difference between the two types of equipment: “A coil tube boiler has a very small op- erating content of water. So, there is no potential energy there that would allow a crack in a tube to cause a catastrophic event. Many conventional boilers have thousands of gallons of water inside, and if a crack develops in the pressure vessel, the potential energy of the water and steam flashes to atmosphere and that can be extremely danger- ous.” In fact, several North American jurisdictions allow the use of coil tube boilers without the requirement of stationary engineers. On the innovation front, Heppell says, “We manufacture our own burners, and the technology in that is always changing because of emission rules and regulations. So, we’re always trying to develop a better product that will burn at lower emission levels.We’re always improving controls, but the main design of the boiler hasn’t changed dramatically since the first design. Material-wise, it’s still made of steel.”As for cost, while decades ago coil tube units were expensive to produce AT A GLANCE THERMOGENICS BOILERS WHAT: Industrial coil tube manufacturer WHERE: Aurora, Ontario WEBSITE: www.thermogenicsboilers.com
