Flue gas economizers
Flue gas economizers are often used on steam boilers to pick up an
additional 3 to 7 percent of combustion efficiency. Reclaimed heat from
the economizers may be used for combustion air preheating or feed-
water preheating. In either case, care must be taken to keep the ex-
iting flue gas above the water vapor condensation temperature, and
for feedwater heating, there must be adequate flow to avoid steaming
in the economizer.

Boiler testing
It is often desirable or necessary to test steam boiler performance. To
this end, a valve to open for discharge to atmosphere is included in
the plant design. The test valve discharge line should include a sound
silencer to minimize the noise.
