boiler efficiency calculation methods:
  1. Input-output method
η = Output / Input

Output is defined as the heat that is absorbed by working fluid. Input is defined as the chemical heat of fuel plus the heat that is added to working fluid, air, gas and other fluid circuit in which the fluid circuit across thin layer.

  1. Heat Loss Method
Heat loss method is the method that is used to calculate the percentage amount of heat which is not useful. This method is very effective used in an attempt to find potential savings of boiler with heat balance.

There are several factors act as the source of heat loss combustion. These factors will be used to calculate boiler efficiency based on heat loss method. The source of heat loss can be seen as following below:

a. Heat loss due to dry flue gas

Heat loss due to dry flue gas is the heat loss which is contained in dry flue gas such as CO2, O2 and N2. These gases are one of causes of heat loss in combustion process. The high temperature of flue gas coming out from boiler affect amount of heat loss.

The weight and heat loss of dry flue gas of combustion of coal can be calculated as following formula:

Wdfg = mCO2 + mSO2 + mO2 + mN2

Eloss dfg = Wdfg x Cp x (To - Ts)

Where:

Wdfg = weight of dry flue gas (kg/kg coal)

Eloss dfg = heat loss in dry flue gas (kJ/kg)

To = temperature of dry flue gas coming out from boiler

Ts = temperature of surrounding

What is the annual kWh for 60 hp boiler?

To determine the annual kWh for a 60 hp boiler, you would need to know the average hours of operation per year and the efficiency of the boiler. You can use the formula: kWh = hp x 0.7457 x hours of operation x boiler efficiency. This formula takes into account the power factor and converts horsepower to kilowatts.

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.
