In boiler which is a closed vessel fluids are heated & stored for use in different processes
Boiler efficiency is calculated by determining the steam value per hour and dividing it by the amount of fuel which is consumed per hour. By doing this one can determine the efficiency of a boiler.

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.
Boiler can be classified as below
Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler (AFBC boiler) is a type of operational boiler. In a AFBC boiler a little more fluidized bed combustor is added than a conventional shell boiler.
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.
the maximum pressure and the capacity in the fire tube boiler are usually depends on the model design and specified by the manufacturers in the manufacturer manual.
The DOE heating capacity MBH oil fired heating boiler refers to the heating capacity of the boiler. The DOE is one of the best boilers in the market.
The wattage can vary depending on manufacturer, capacity, model, etc. The wattage will be stated on a label fastened to the boiler.
there are two types of boilers water tube and fire tube. fire tube boilers are divided in to two categories vertical and horizontal. this according to the construction of fire tubes. it is said that vertical boilers are inefficient than horizontal boilers. The vertical boiler is small capacity, and horizontal boiler is higher capacity, well, the horizontal boiler have many types according the drums, there are single drums boiler, and double drums boiler, while, the single drums boiler have fire tube boiler and water and fire tube boiler, double drums boiler is usually water tube boiler.
fire tube & water tube . high pressure and low pressure. low capacity and high capacity.
An auxiliary boiler is a secondary boiler used to support the main boiler in a steam power plant or marine vessel. It is often used when the main boiler is unable to meet the steam demands, providing additional steam capacity. Auxiliary boilers can also be used for heating purposes during maintenance or downtime of the main boiler.
The IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations) formula for boilers depends on the type of boiler and its capacity. In general, the formula calculates the minimum safe working pressure (PS) of a boiler based on its heating surface area and capacity. The formula is PS = (W x H^2) / (500 x A), where PS is the safe working pressure, W is the weight of water in the boiler in kg, H is the heating surface area in square meters, and A is the capacity in liters.
DETERMINE BTU THEN DIVIDE THE NUMBER BY 10,000, MULTIPLY BY 4 AND IT GIVES YOU A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF WATER HOLDING CAPACITY IN GALLONS. ALSO, DETERMINE LENGTH & DIAMETER OF BOILER, VOLUME IS CALCULATED BY THE FORMULA 3.14 x square of radius x length. Multiply by 0.7 and you also get a rough estimate of the volume of water...

The amp requirement for a house boiler can vary depending on the size and type of the boiler. Typically, a house boiler may require anywhere from 15 to 30 amps to operate efficiently. It is important to consult the boiler's specifications and an electrician to determine the precise amp requirement for your specific setup.
