In most cases ten minutes of water should be readily available for your boiler. One boiler horsepower = 34.5 lbs/hr of steam (or water) from and at 212o F. We also know that one-gallon of water weighs 8.37 lbs. To calculate the storage tank needed use the following formula: BHP X 34.5 ÷ 8.337 lbs ÷ 60 min. X 10 = minimum useable capacity in gallons.

Apr 07, 2019 · It works like this: All boilers, regardless of their size, lose water to steam at a constant rate. Ideally, they should be fed at 1 GPM per 250,000 Btu/hr., Gross Load (D.O .E. Heating Capacity). So, if a boiler is rated for, say, 500,000 Btu/hr., and the water level drops to the feed line, you should be adding about 2 GPM to keep the burner on

Moreover, the water consumption is usually determined with the blow-down brine, depending on the recirculated steam and the make-up water concentration. B=S x (1 - r) x m / b - m. B = Blowdown. S = Steam rate. b = boiler water TDS concentration.

Oct 10, 2020 · Steam boilers are generally reliable and can run for 15 to 30 years or more, but they need more maintenance and regular checkups than a gas furnace, for example. Many steam boilers should be checked weekly to make sure the water is at the right level. Too much water wastes energy, and too little water can weaken boiler parts due to overheating.

Dec 29, 2006 · In this case, we need a demineralizer or softener rated for a maximum flow rate of 28 gpm. It will be less depending upon how much condensate is returned. The next part of this question is what water quality is needed for the application. The steam pressure and steam boiler manufacturer will help determine what the water quality needs to be.

The Boiler Horsepower (BHP) is the amount of energy required to produce 34.5 pounds of steam per hour at a pressure and temperature of 0 Psig and 212 oF, with feedwater at 0 Psig and 212 oF. A BHP is equivalent to 33,475 BTU/Hr or 8430 Kcal/Hr and it should be noted that a boiler horsepower is 13.1547 times a normal horsepower.

Jan 24, 2013 · January 24th, 2013. Written By: Elizabeth Bolton. Add Water To Your Boiler to Keep that Steam Heat Humming. This bitingly cold weather is one more reminder to pay close attention to your heating system. If you have steam heat you may need to add water to the boiler (and yes – it's a boiler, not a furnace, if your heating system uses water).

The recommendation to install a water meter in the boiler's make-up water system is a good one, even for a boiler not experiencing leakage and scaling. Constant monitoring of water usage may detect otherwise unnoticeable leaking early, so corrective action may be undertaken before any damage occurs. Another reason to monitor water usage is that
