Can SOLTRON® be used in a steam boiler?
Yes, Soltron is very effective in boilers. Although Soltron has only been laboratory tested in piston and jet turbine engines, we do have field reports from customers on boilers. We have one report from the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority stating they had a 16% reduction in fuel consumption. However, there are a lot of variables in boiler design, which makes estimating improvements very difficult. Boilers may also need to be re-tuned to take advantage of Soltron. Boilers require adequate make up air, and often dont have the computer controlled fuel systems that modern automotive engines do. Boilers may have to have the fuel spray nozzles sized down to prevent over-fueling and a rich mixture, to take full advantage of Soltron.
