NovaFeed
Boiler Feed System
The NovaFeed boiler feedwater system collects condensate and automatically adds make-up water to compensate for system losses. The system provides feed water for the boiler to ensure its safe operation.
The tank can be supplied with a single pump or, when system redundancy is required, with several pumps. Furthermore, our pumps are designed to ensure optimum operations of the feedwater supply, either continuously or intermittently for larger capacities.
In a system with multiple boilers, one tank can be used to supply feedwater to the entire boiler room.
Controls
The temperature control system operates autonomously with a probe, an automatic valve, and a temperature controller. A low-level switch automatically cuts power to prevent pump cavitation. A control panel is also provided, including magnetic starters, push buttons, and switches for the pumping system.
Performance
Our tanks are designed to ensure uninterrupted operation of the boilers for at least 10 minutes, leaving enough time for the condensate to return to the tank after running through the system. Our feedwater tanks can be custom-designed to meet the specific needs of your system to ensure optimal operations.
The feedwater tank is not pressurized, allowing the condensate flowing back from the system by gravity to be recovered. It can also serve as a transfer tank when using a deaerator.
Protection Against Corrosion
Using steam from the boiler, the tank will automatically heat the feedwater above the oxygen saturation point. The gas is then discharged out of the system through the oversized vent, maximizing corrosion resistance for the whole system.
Standard Equipment
Novatherm only uses components and manufacturers that are well known for their high quality and availability. Replacement parts are available throughout North America.
