Typical boiler efficiencies range from about 90% for the best solid biomass fuel boilers to close to 95% for oil- and natural gas-fired boilers, Table 3.2. The main reason for the poorer performance of biofuels is the high moisture content of the fuel, which increases flue gas losses. Table 3.2.

Most standards for computation of boiler efficiency, including IS 8753 and BS845 are designed for spot measurement of boiler efficiency. Invariably, all these standards do not include blow down as a loss in the efficiency determination process. Basically Boiler efficiency can be tested by the following methods

The big savings come from swapping an old boiler for a new, high-efficiency one. SEDBUK 2005. The previous SEDBUK system is featured on older boilers and is still used by lots of manufacturers. Like the ErP system, it rates boilers from A-G. A-rated boilers score over 90% for efficiency, while G-rated boilers come in under 70%.

Boiler efficiency (%) = 100 (heat exported by the fluid (water, steam ..) / heat provided by the fuel) (1) Heat Exported from the Boiler to the Fluid. If a fluid like water is used to transfer heat from the boiler - the heat transfer can be expressed as: q = (m / t) c p dT (2) where. q = heat transfer (kJ/s, kW) m / t = mass flow (kg/s) m = mass (kg) t = time (s) c p = specific heat (kJ/kg o C) dT = temperature difference between …

Nov 24, 2016 · Boiler Efficiency:-Thermal efficiency of boiler is defined as the percentage of heat input that is effectively utilized to generate steam. There are two methods of assessing boiler efficiency. 1) Boiler Efficiency by Direct Method: Where the energy gain of the working fluid (water and steam) is compared with the energy content of the boiler fuel.
Read MoreThe efficiency of boiler is determined as a percentage of the total energy available by burning the fuel on gross calorific value (GCV) basis. The ASME standard PTC 4-1 power test for consists of two methods: (1) Direct method. (2) Indirect method. As per Indian standard IS 8753 for boiler efficiency testing the above two methods are to be used
