- Engineered in Nepal
- Nationwide service
Overview
Vertical Water Preheater
A vertical water preheater is an indirect heating unit that raises the temperature of boiler feedwater before it enters the steam boiler. By using steam, condensate, or recovered waste heat as the heating medium, it improves boiler efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and helps protect the boiler from thermal shock.
ME Engineering manufactures rugged vertical water preheaters suitable for industrial steam systems in Nepal. The compact vertical design saves floor space while providing reliable heat transfer and steady hot-water supply for feed systems, process heating, and utility applications.
Key Features
. Vertical compact design for space-saving installation
. Indirect heating for safe and controlled water temperature
. Compatible with steam, condensate, or waste-heat sources
. Durable fabricated steel construction
. Easy access for cleaning and maintenance
. Can be integrated with boiler feed tanks and control systems
How It Works
. Cold water enters the lower section of the preheater.
. Steam or hot condensate flows through the heating section, transferring heat to the water.
. Preheated water exits at a higher temperature and is sent to the boiler feed tank or directly to the boiler system.
. Condensate from the heating side is discharged through steam traps for efficient energy recovery.
Built and supplied by ME Engineering to IBR / ASME standards, with full documentation and nationwide service support.
