JET electrode boilers are the right solution when the goal is to utilize renewable electricity for efficient and emission-free heat production. For example, steam boiler solutions are a practical and efficient choice for industrial process plants and large district heating facilities.
In the system, water is pumped from the bottom of the boiler into a nozzle unit, from where it flows to the electrodes. The nozzle unit acts as the counter-electrode. When the water stream hits the electrode, an electric current passes through the water, which then acts as a resistor and begins to heat up. The output is controlled by adjusting the flow rate of water directed to the electrodes. The boiler has a control range of 0–100%, with fully stepless modulation.
Eco-friendly and flexible energy efficiency with a steam boiler
Full controll range
Power can be ramped up smoothly from zero to 100%. This flexibility supports services such as grid frequency regulation.
High steam pressure
The JET boiler produces high-pressure steam using clean electrical energy without any fuels. Boilers are manufactured up to 40 bar, making them suitable for demanding process steam applications.
Intelligent control
The automation system keeps the boiler pressure constant, and load is regulated by adjusting the nozzle unit’s plate position. This enables the boiler to respond quickly to changes in load.
Compact and clean
Structurally, the JET boiler is a pressure vessel. Since no combustion occurs, there is no need for fuel storage and no emissions are produced. The boiler operates in an environmentally friendly manner.
Juha MäntynenVice President, CTIThe electrode boiler is emission-free and extremely fast to start up. It is particularly well suited for grid balancing needs and the utilisation of renewable energy.
