Aalborg-ESB-630

The Alfa Laval S.p.A. Aalborg-ESB-630 is an electric steam boiler in the Aalborg ESB family for combustion-free steam production on board ships. The unit converts electrical energy into boiler heat and is integrated with the vessel's feedwater, steam, control and safety systems. It can be used when shore power or onboard electrical generation makes electric steam production preferable to operating a fuel-fired auxiliary boiler. The absence of a burner and fuel system reduces combustion-related maintenance but places greater importance on heating elements, electrical protection, water level control and water chemistry. The 630 suffix identifies this particular ESB size; exact electrical rating, steam capacity, design pressure and dimensions must be taken from the manufacturer documentation. The boiler is particularly relevant to harbour, low-emission and hybrid operating modes where steam demand remains even when main propulsion or fired boilers are not in service.
