In order to determine what size boiler you need, you will need to have a Manual J Load Calculation performed on your home.
Personaly I installed two boilers rather then one big one. I would imagine how many BTU out put you need that would dictate what size boiler one needed as one size does not fit all applications
a 462000-gallon boiler, unlikely to be found on the market :)
"Firstly you need to make sure you've got the right size boiler cover, as boilers do come in all shapes and sizes. Then empty the boiler and cover it. Then slowly refill it."
The size of the boiler needed for a 2,000-square-foot home typically ranges between 70,000 to 100,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour, depending on factors such as insulation, climate, and the layout of the home. It's essential to conduct a heat loss calculation to determine the precise needs based on these variables. Consulting with a heating professional can help ensure you choose the right boiler size for optimal efficiency and comfort.
The amount of KWh used by an oil boiler in a year can vary based on factors such as the efficiency of the boiler, the size of the home, and how often the boiler is used. On average, a residential oil boiler may use around 2,000 to 3,000 kWh per year for heating.
For a Worcester oil boiler with an output of 140,000 BTU, you typically need a nozzle size of around 0.85 to 1.0 gallons per hour (GPH), depending on the specific model and efficiency requirements. It's essential to consult the boiler's manual or a heating professional to determine the exact size and type of nozzle required for optimal performance. Proper nozzle selection ensures efficient combustion and helps maintain the boiler's efficiency and longevity.
Boiler Insurance will have different costs depending on the insurance provider, what area one lives and size of the home. The usual price range is about $60-$140 a month.
The relief valve should be at least as large (in BTU/hr capacity) as the input of the boiler. A 3.5 million input boiler would need then a relief valve to handle at a minimum 3.5 million BTU/hr.
You would need a 10 to 40 MMBtu/hr boiler for that size of a school. The larger the place you are heating the larger output of heat you will need.
NONE a boiler is a boiler and a water heater is a water heaterSEE ASME section IV or the NBBI
You cannot accurately determine what size furnace is required based on the total square feet of a given space or structure. To accurately determine how much heat is required to heat your, you would need to have a Manual J Heat Load Calculation performed.
A new boiler will cost about $3000 for a standard efficiency model, but for a more efficient boiler it can run up to $8000 plus. It is important to have a contractor size up your system. If you buy a more efficient system the boiler will not need to be the same size as your old boiler unit. Keep in mind that you location and seasonal demand will affect the price as well. If a contractor is super busy they will likely charge more since they have plenty of jobs lined up in the future.
