Economizers lower the consumption of fuel for a given steam demand. They also reduce thermal stress in the boiler and add heat transfer surface area to the boiler system.

What is the purpose of the economizer?

An economizer is a mechanical device used to reduce energy consumption. Economizers recycle energy produced within a system or leverage environmental temperature differences to achieve efficiency improvements.

What are the two purposes of an economizer?

The economizer evaluates outside air temperature and even humidity levels. When the exterior air levels are appropriate, it uses the outside air to cool your building. HVAC economizers use logic controllers and sensors to get an accurate read on outside air quality.
