Looking for information to help me decide to go with an electric steam boiler like the Sussman ES-100 or with a gas fired. With electric there isn't the venting, gas, make-up air, fireproof room issues like with gas but what are the costs of electric vs steam? It would seem that with electric all the energy would go into the steam vs with the gas where much heat goes up the vent pipe? If so it seems like it should come down to an equation of $/kW/lb of steam for electric vs $/gas unit/lb of steam for gas.
Any preferred electric boiler manufacturers? I've seen Sussman and Spirax/Sarco
Has anyone used flexible pipe/tubing for steam negating the need for all the heavy duty piping? A plug and play solution? This will be for a brewhouse between 7-10bbl in the south pacific.
Thanks!
