Losses caused by boilers<br />

Losses <strong>in</strong> boilers are caused by two reas<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

The first reas<strong>on</strong> is poor boiler <strong>in</strong>sulati<strong>on</strong> which leads to losses of<br />

heat <strong>in</strong>to the boiler room. New boilers now have an <strong>in</strong>sulati<strong>on</strong><br />

thickness of up to 20 cm and old boilers should be <strong>in</strong>sulated at<br />

least with 10 cm <strong>in</strong>sulati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

The sec<strong>on</strong>d reas<strong>on</strong> are losses due to stand-by operati<strong>on</strong>. Stand<br />

by losses usually occur because hot water has to be stored for<br />

immediate use and for the heat<strong>in</strong>g supply. Losses depend <strong>on</strong> the<br />

fuel, boiler, burner and usage of heat. What they all have <strong>in</strong><br />

comm<strong>on</strong> are additi<strong>on</strong>al regulati<strong>on</strong> problems which could<br />

technically be decreased with hydraulic regulati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
