The thermal efficiency is as high as 90%, the gas price is lower, and the comprehensive energy consumption cost is better.

1、 Energy cost and thermal efficiency
Gas steaming furnace
The thermal efficiency is as high as 90%, the gas price is lower, and the comprehensive energy consumption cost is better.
Using gas combustion heating, steam can be quickly generated within 2-3 minutes, suitable for high-frequency and large-scale production needs.
Electric steaming furnace
The energy conversion efficiency reaches 98%, but the cost of electricity is relatively high, and the long-term usage cost may be higher than that of gas equipment.
The heating speed is slightly slower, but energy waste can be reduced through intelligent temperature control.
2、 Environmental performance
Gas steaming furnace
After gas combustion, a small amount of CO and other exhaust gases will still be emitted, which must comply with environmental emission standards.
Some new gas stoves adopt low emission technologies (such as CO emissions that are 20 times lower than the national standard).
Electric steaming furnace
No exhaust emissions, zero pollution, suitable for environments with strict environmental requirements such as hospitals and food processing.
3、 Safety and operational convenience
Gas steaming furnace
There is a risk of gas leakage and explosion, and safety systems such as pressure protection and flame monitoring need to be equipped.
Manual adjustment of firepower is required, suitable for experienced chefs to flexibly control the steaming effect.
Electric steaming furnace
No open flame operation, leakage risk can be avoided through anti leakage protection devices, resulting in higher safety.
Support automated functions such as one click start and scheduled appointment, making operation more convenient.
4、 Maintenance and service life
Gas steaming furnace
Regular cleaning of fire exhaust and gas pipelines is required, with high maintenance frequency and serious scale problems.
The structure is complex (including solenoid valves, pressure reducing valves, etc.), and the maintenance cost is high.
Electric steaming furnace
Easy maintenance, only requiring regular descaling and circuit inspection. The lifespan of the equipment is greatly affected by the aging of the electric heating elements.
