Condensate recovery

Condensate recovery is an effective way to save energy and reduce maintenance costs. Condensate has two key characteristics: first, it has already undergone water treatment; second, it contains a significant amount of thermal energy. Therefore, recovering condensate can:

a: Save on water costs and drainage fees;

b: Reduce water treatment costs;

c: The most important thing is to conserve energy used for preheating boiler feedwater.

In fact, effective condensate recovery can save up to 20% of fuel consumption. Spira’s condensate recovery pumps can be used for condensate discharge and recovery in a wide variety of equipment, such as vacuum systems, heat exchangers, air-heating coils, and more. They can also be employed to lift liquids from pools or pits into higher elevations or pressurized systems. To facilitate installation and operation, Spira offers complete condensate recovery units that include the recovery pump, a storage tank, and other essential accessories. The key features of these units are: they operate without electricity, making them safer to use; they deliver high head and large flow rates, and when lifting high-temperature condensate, they avoid the cavitation issues inherent in electric pumps, thereby reducing maintenance costs; additionally, the combined pump unit comes equipped with a flow meter that allows users to accurately measure the amount of condensate being recovered.

The main features are as follows:

An automatic pump specially designed to recover condensate.

Uses steam or compressed air as the power source.

No motor or liquid-level switch required, simple installation—ideal for hazardous areas.

The pump can be used in a variety of operating conditions.

Pumps high-temperature condensate without cavitation, reducing maintenance issues.

It can also be used to pump other industrial fluids.
