2.1.

Exact determination of fuel consumption with

given steam output and steam condition
mD . (h - hSpw) . 100%
mB = w
Hu . hK
mB : Fuel consumption in kg/h and m3/h respectively
mD : Steam out put in kg/h u

h : Enthalpy of steam in kcal/kg u

hSpw : Enthalpy of feed water in kcal/kg (Economizer) u

Hu : LHV in kcal/kg and kcal/m3 respectively u

hK : Boiler efficiency in % u

If the value for steam output cannot be established, it

can be calculated using the following:

mD = mSpw - mAbs w

mSpw : Feed water quantity in kg/h u

mAbs : Demineralisation quantity in kg/h u

2.2. Boiler Efficiency

(mSpw - mAbs) . (h - hSpw)

2.3. Determination of boiler efficiency in hK on the

basis of exhaust gas measurements

h K
= 100% - XA % - 2 %(max) [%]

CO2 measured
ta = Exhaust gas temperature in oC
tu = Combustion air temperature in oC
CO2 = Measured in ppm
SF (Siegert's Factor)
SF = with HFO 0.6
SF = with LFO 0.58
SF = with Natural Gas 0.47
SF = with Coal 0.9
