Christmas time and Pirobloc

As you already know, in our old post about Christmas 2008, PIROBLOC made public the Christmas image with which we are more identified and we explained the reason why.

In Pirobloc and in very precise moments of the year, like the dates that they are coming, we try to apply some matter of the particular scope that allows us to celebrate Christmas at enterprise level.

For that reason, we have thought about what is what all we do not lose over the years and all we like. The answer is: the capacity to play. So this year, if we had to choose a game that motivates inspires us, perhaps it would be the Chess.

Of modern or classic design, it remembers to us that it is always important to have a strategy which sometimes we must adapt against that of the other team during the game, in a field or framework that can change at any time, but always following the rules of the game.

In any case, see you in the New Year, or, for other great cultures that read our blog, in January.

Happy end of December to everybody. Read More!

What is an electrical steam boiler?

In our post about Pirobloc electrical steam boilers on 2008 we already spoke about the renewed this type of boilers, whose basic characteristics resides in that the energetic source that we used for the steam production is the electricity.

The body of the boiler, in this case, is greater with respect to the dimensions of the resistance that it lodges because it has a double function: the central and inferior part where the electrical resistance lodges, it is plenty of water; and the top of the tank body becomes a chamber that contains the steam produced thanks to the heating.

Logically, whichever major is the body-tank of the boiler, the camera will be able to lodge major quantity of steam and/or of greater quality: the steam will be very drier as it has minor direct contact with the surface of the water, inside the body of the boiler.

In this type of boilers, the thermal power is given to us by the power of the used electrical resistances, being their efficiency of the 100% of the consumed energy.

In reference to the pump, it will be of water in this type of boilers, for the feeding of the boiler body from public-supply water, from a tank in which it has been treated or decalcified, and to make the steam production.

Finally and because it is a steam machine, we would like to remember to you that it will be necessary to locate this boiler specifically in a room placed at a certain distance of the general walk of people, advising you to follow the rest of indications of location and use with regard to this type of machines under pressure.

What is a electrical thermal oil boiler?

Following our previous blog, in which we introduced the concept of thermal oil boiler of gas, diesel oil or heavy fuel oil, today we will explain to you what is an electrical thermal oil boiler.


The main difference between this one and that ones is the energetic source that we use to reach the thermal fluid required temperature: While in conventional boilers at natural gas, diesel or heavy fuel oil, we have a burner that injects or pulverizes fuels, in the electrical boilers, where a flame does not exist, the heat is provided by an electrical resistance.

The body of the boiler, in this case, is usually made up of a cylindrical shell, in the interior of which it is placed a resistance, united both by connection flanges which close the chamber that we will fill of oil.

Once the body of the boiler is filled of oil, you will simply turn on the control panel and so, the resistance will begin to warm up the thermal oil to the required temperature. In this type of boilers, the thermal power is given by the used electrical resistances power.

Another important and also external element to the body of the boiler, it is the pump of impulsion of the fluid that we are warming up. The pump also serves to maintain a constant movement of the fluid inside the coils of the furnace and in the circuit, as well as to send it warms up until each consuming machine.

This type of boilers has an efficiency of the 100% of the consumed energy, although it is certain that, generally, it is the most expensive energy in almost all the markets, and therefore, to the cost of purchase of the equipment will be necessary to add the consumption in electricity that you think that you will use, to calculate the investment to make.

This is the reason why generally, its election is normally due to the lack of other fuels in the area where it is or it is going to be placed; or to cover small powers requirements and/or to be used in facilities where the process heating needs are not continuous.

In our next blog, we will speak about our electrical steam heaters. Read More!
