Boiler horsepower equals 9809.5 watts.

It was used for rating steam boilers and is equivalent to 34.5 pounds (about 15.6 kg) of water evaporated per hour at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius).

How do you convert boiler flow rate to boiler mw?

Boiler power is not determined in megawatts. A boiler horsepower is determined as 33000 btus. That is equivalent to 34.5 pounds of steam from and at 212 F. Conversion of boiler conditions (factor of evaporation) output and horsepower to atmospheric steam conditions is the norm for determining boiler horsepower. The ASME code contains several methods for determining boiler horsepower. Megawatts are a determination of turbine-generator output.

What is the boiler capacity unit?

Boiler loads, or the capacity of steam boilers, are often rated in boiler horsepower, lbs of steam delivered per hour, or BTU. Large boiler capacities are often given in lbs of steam evaporated per hour under specified steam conditions. Since the amount of steam delivered varies with temperature and pressure, a common expression of the boiler capacity is the heat transferred over time expressed as British Thermal Units per hour.
