What is the use of economiser in boiler?

The economizer is used to raise feedwater temperature up to nearly the temperature of the boiler to avoid thermal shock and improve the boiler's efficiency. Every 11 degrees Fahrenheit increase in feedwater temperature yields a 1% increase in boiler efficiency.

Why economiser is used in boiler?

An economizer is used to heat boiler feedwater up closer to the temperature of the boiler water, using heat from the boiler exhaust gases, heat that would otherwise be wasted. The main reason is to improve the efficiency of the boiler. For every 44 degree F drop in exhaust gas temp. there is an 11 F rise in feedwater temperature and a 1% gain in boiler efficiency.
