Package Boiler Solutions : From The Steam Experts
What Is A Package Boiler?
A package boiler is a pre-engineered boiler that comes as a complete unit. Also commonly referred to a mobile boiler room these are truly a “boiler room in a box”. This includes the burner, boiler, controls, water treatment chemicals and auxiliary equipment. They are built, maintained and test fired by our team before they go out the door. This means you have access to reliable package units that can be ready at a moments notice. We have made a wide range of package boilers that can meet the diverse needs of various industries.
Our Package Boiler Checklist
To ensure we provide customers with the right boiler, we created a boiler checklist that helps identify key operating information. This includes details on the boiler size, desired operating pressure, as well as burner fuel type. Additionally, we assess factors like set pressure of relief valves, NOx requirements and electrical power available to match the boiler to the customer’s needs. Other critical considerations include connection points for steam outlet and city water lines. Finally accounting for the overall dimensions of the unit to confirm that the package boiler will fit within the designated space. Gathering these details allows us to set our customers up for success.
Applications of Package Boilers
Package boilers are invaluable across numerous industrial manufacturing facilities that require a temporary yet efficient steam solution. Industries such as food processing, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and pulp and paper frequently use package boilers. These units are most commonly used to maintain consistent production during maintenance, upgrades, or unexpected shutdowns.
In food processing, rental boilers ensure uninterrupted steam for cooking, sterilization, and packaging. In chemical manufacturing, they supply the heat needed for reactions and drying processes. Textile manufacturers rely on rental boilers for dyeing and finishing, which demand consistent steam. With their ease of installation, and reliable performance, rental package boilers provide a quick, effective solution that keeps operations running smoothly.
Why Rasmussen Mechanical?
Whether its unplanned downtime or planned maintenance, we know it expensive when your boiler goes offline. Our package units are built by our experienced boiler teams and ship anywhere in the continental United States. We outfit our rentals with state-of-the-art controls and all of our boiler systems meet ASME guidelines. Whether you’re looking for a temporary rental boiler or a permanent boiler system our team can help.
Selection Criteria for Choosing a Package Boiler
When selecting a package boiler, consider the following factors to ensure it meets operational needs:
- Capacity Requirements: Choose a boiler that matches the facility’s demand for steam or hot water.
- Fuel Type: Some facilities have specific fuel needs, so it’s essential to get a package boiler that aligns with your available resources.
- Efficiency Ratings: Look for boilers with high efficiency ratings, as they will save fuel and lower operational costs.
- Space Constraints: Consider the space available for installation and maintenance.
- Compliance with Industry Standards: Ensure the boiler meets ASME, OSHA, and other relevant standards.
Environmental Advantages of Package Boilers
Our package boilers are designed with energy efficiency and low emissions in mind. By utilizing advanced combustion technology and emissions controls, these units help facilities reduce their carbon footprint while meeting stringent EPA and local environmental standards. Many of our boilers come equipped with low-NOx burners allowing businesses to pursue cleaner energy solutions. This adaptability not only helps meet regulatory requirements but also promotes sustainable business practices.
Glossary of Boiler Terms
Understanding common boiler terminology can help you make informed decisions when selecting a package boiler. Here’s a glossary of key terms:
BTU: A unit of heat energy; higher BTUs indicate more heating capacity.
Efficiency: Indicates how well the boiler converts fuel into usable heat, impacting fuel costs.
NOx Emissions: Nitrogen oxides from combustion; low-NOx burners reduce pollution.
Turn-Down Ratio: The boiler’s range from max to minimum output, affecting efficiency and wear.
Water Treatment: Conditioning water to prevent scale and corrosion, improving efficiency and durability.
