Calculation of Boiler Properties

Calculate below the necessary size of your heater /boiler. This sheet is to be considered
as a guidance and is of no obligations / responsibilities of AB&CO.

FLUID - COLD SIDE 4 1 = Water (above 90%); 2 = Oil (above 90%)


3 = Air / Flue gas / Nitrogen (above 90%)
4 = Others - State value of Specific Heat :

Specific Heat : 3.50 kJ/(kg°C)


(only option 4) 0.836 BTU/(lb°F)

Alternative 1 Heating up a current fluid (during flow through)


Alternative 2 Heating up a stationary fluid in tank during a certain time

CHOOSE ALTERNATIVE 2 1 = Alternative 1; 2 = Alternative 2

Alternative 1 Heating up a Flow

Mass Flow 10,000 kg/h = 22,050 lb/h

Alternative 2 Heating up a Stationary Content

Tank Content 100,000 kg 220,500 lb

Heating Time 2 hours

Temperature, Inlet 50 °C = 122.0 °F

Temperature, Outlet 65 °C = 149.0 °F

Net Minimum Capacity 729.2 kW = 2,486,458 BTU/h


Add extra 5 - 15% for heat loss depending on the extent of the thermal insulation

Extra Capacity 10 %

Total Necessary Capacity 802.1 kW = 2,735,104 BTU/h

FLUID - HOT SIDE 2 1 = Saturated Steam; 2 = Electrical


3 = Thermal Fluid Paratherm NF; 4 = Hot Water
5 = Others liquids - State value of Specific Heat

Specific Heat : 3.00 kJ/(kg°C)


0.717 BTU/(lb°F)

Temperature, Inlet 130 °C = 266.0 °F

Temperature, Outlet 130 °C = 266.0 °F

Mass Flow kg/h = lb/h

Voltage 3 x 400 Volts ( 3-Phase)

Electr. Current 1158 Ampere
