Read MoreAug 16, 2017 · The input is also used to determine the efficiency of the boiler for example; a boiler with an input of 150,000 Btu/hr and a gross output of 135,000 would have an estimated combustion efficiency of 135,000÷150,000= .90×100=90% eff. Next we have the boiler output, which can be listed in several ways.
Read MoreJun 18, 2014 · For instance, if a boiler has an Input of 200,000 BTUH and a Gross Output of 160,000 BTUH, that boiler would be running at 80% combustion efficiency. It's not hard to figure this out. Just divide the big number into the little number and then multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage. And this brings us to Net Output.

Read MoreThe power input to the feed pump is very small compared to the power output of the turbine and you can often neglect it altogether. In this case we assume h1=h4. If you are not ignoring the power input, then you need to find h1. If you know the exact temperature of the water at inlet to the boiler (outlet from the pump) then you
Read MoreBoiler Efficiency related to the boilers energy output to the boilers energy input can be expressed as: 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 …
Read MoreFeb 07, 2019 · The power output varies as the amount of gas burned is reduced / increased. Its called modulation, and is a way of matching the boiler's output to the heat requirement and avoids the boiler firing at full blast, then turning off, then firing again (cycling). 2. The engineer can, on many boilers, set the maximum output.
