lets talk product /thirdThe HYBRID PERCOMTHERM MACHINE
A SOFAME PATENT
The unit combines the simple principles of a water heater and a heat recovery boiler and thats why they were able to apply and receive the patent.
The machine recovers heat from existing boilers and also adds its own source of heat.,which in most cases is a natural gas burner ; however they do make units which burn number 2 and number 6 fuels and also successfully recover waste heat.
its the condensate , meaning the hot water that accumilates in their system.
natural gas burns very clean so the the water is actually approved to go directly into a wash down of a ffod processing establishment by the FDA and Agriculture Canada.
so food processing is a large consumer of natural gas because they believe every 24 hours of operation they have to wash down for eight hours with etremely hot water. si if they make that water heater 99% efficient , theyare saviving them a lot of money.
if they had an existing boiler, for example and they were to replace that or they were to add on their facility, they could sell them a hybrid percomtherm to recover the waste hat from their existing water heaters and generate more hot water, because the percomtherm would represent about anywhere from 10-20 million BTUs per hour, which is roughly 3-7 megawatts of energy.
so its quite a large burner.
do your own due diligence
