Development of a New Model “MAGIC BOILER” for Faster Steam Production

Abstract

A boiler, whether it is used for heating water, generating steam, or superheating steam, plays a crucial role as a closed vessel in various applications. From industrial to household use, boilers find wide-ranging importance. Particularly for Indonesian home industries, which predominantly focus on food or fashion production, boilers play a viral in their manufacturing processes. However, the significant energy consumption of boilers, combined with rising gas and electricity prices due to inflation, has led to an increase in production costs, posing challenges to companies’ profitability and sustainability. To address this issue, this paper proposes the development of a safe and energy-efficient electric water boiler known as the “MAGIC BOILER.” The distinguishing feature of the “MAGIC BOILER” lies in its unique design, incorporating an enhanced heating surface. This innovative design maximizes the heat output generated by the heater, ensuring efficient utilization of the electrical input, thus yielding a higher rate of heat transfer and steam production rate at a relatively lower cost.
