Design considerations for boilers
The method of calculating the efficiency of the boiler from the effective use of energy to calculate the thermal efficiency of the boiler is counterbalanced.
In order to make the fuel in the furnace with more opportunities to contact with oxygen and combustion, the actual amount of air into the furnace is always greater than the theoretical amount of air.
When the unit mass or unit volume of fuel is completely burned, the air demand calculated by the chemical reaction is called the theoretical air volume.
Considering the actual benefits of the boiler room, not only depends on the boiler thermal efficiency, but also take into account the energy consumed by the boiler auxiliary.
In order to assess performance and improve the design, the boiler often undergo a thermal equilibrium test.
