Read MoreDistrict heating is like central heating but on a city or quarter scale: a large municipal boiler heats the water which is sent to each home via a network of insulated underground pipes. The term "economies of scale" often pops up in discussions about energy. Which
Read More3. Minimize boiler fouling A boiler can only operate efficiently if it is "clean". In other words, tube bundles and heating surfaces must be largely free of deposits. This helps to minimize pressure loss in the flue gas route (which is caused by fouling in the convective
