The use of steam boilers for heating in hotels is a relatively traditional and mature solution, especially suitable for medium and large-sized hotels with multiple demands such as hot water supply and kitchen steam. Its core advantage lies in stable heat output and the ability to achieve multi-purpose energy supply.
The steam boiler heats the water in the furnace by burning fuel (such as natural gas, diesel, biomass, etc.) to vaporize it into high-temperature steam, and then provides heating for the hotel through the following two methods:
Indirect heating: Steam is delivered to the heat exchanger to heat the cold water in the circulating water system. The hot water is then dissipated through the hotel’s radiator, floor heating coil or fan coil to meet the heating needs of guest rooms, lobbies, corridors and other areas.
2. Direct heating: Steam is directly introduced into the heating coil of the air conditioning unit to heat the supply air flow. This is suitable for some Spaces with high requirements for heating speed, but attention should be paid to the recovery of condensate water and prevention of steam leakage.
Meanwhile, the steam generated by the steam boiler can also be used for heating domestic hot water in the hotel, steam for kitchen steam cabinets, and steam for ironing equipment in the laundry room, etc., achieving “one machine with multiple uses” and improving energy utilization efficiency.
