The thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation can estimate the daily operation cost, which should be paid special attention by users. Heat-conduction oil boiler is a kind of boiler that uses heat-conduction oil as heat medium to transfer heat. Using the high-temperature characteristics of heat-conduction oil, heat-conduction oil boiler can realize low-pressure and high-temperature heating, and is widely used in paint, edible oil, chemical industry and other industries. Here, ZOZEN Boiler explains thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation.
Thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation
Energy consumption calculation of oil-fired boiler includes fuel cost, electricity cost, medium cost, etc., among which fuel cost is the main one:
Energy consumption per hour of thermic fluid heater fuel = boiler output/fuel calorific value/boiler calorific value utilization ratio.
Take the 10t/h ZOZEN gas-fired thermic fluid heater an example.
The heat supply is 6 million kcal, the thermal efficiency of the boiler is 95%, and the calorific value of fuel is 8,600 kcal/m, so the hourly gas consumption of the boiler is 6 million kcal ÷ 95% ÷ 8,600 kcal per cubic meter =734.39m3.
That is to say, under full load, the hourly gas consumption of a 10-ton thermic fluid heater is about 734.39m3. Of course, this is only the thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation in the ideal state, and it can only be roughly estimated.
Factors affecting thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation
Through the above thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation, it can be found that the energy consumption calculation of thermic fluid heater is mainly affected by the calorific value and purity of fuel, the thermal efficiency of the boiler, and also closely related to the operation level of the stoker.
1. Calorific value of fuel.
Because the quality of fuel is different in different regions, the quality of heat transfer oil boilers is different, and the amount of mixed air is different. The higher the calorific value of fuel, the lower the gas consumption, and vice versa.
2. Thermal efficiency of the boiler.
nder the condition that the calorific value of fuel is constant, the thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation is inversely related to thermal efficiency. The higher the thermal efficiency of thermal fluid heater, the less fuel used and the lower the cost. The thermal efficiency of the boiler itself is mainly related to the heating surface of the boiler, the convection heating area of the boiler, the exhaust gas temperature, etc. ZOZEN’s boiler will be designed reasonably according to the actual needs of users, and on the premise of not increasing the resistance of the boiler, the heating surfaces of various parts of the boiler will be increased, the exhaust temperature will be controlled reasonably, the heat loss will be reduced, and the daily operation cost of gas-fired boiler will be greatly reduced for users.
3. Operation level of stoker.
The operation level of the stoker not only affects the thermic fluid heater fuel consumption calculation, but also determines whether the boiler can run safely. Therefore, the relevant state departments stipulate that the stoker on duty must have a stoker’s certificate, which is a performance of being responsible to users, stokers and society.
Thermal fluid heater is the fist product of ZOZEN Boiler, and ZOZEN Boiler pays special attention to the construction of boiler design team. The design of thermal fluid heater needs to pay attention to the market trend in real time, and optimize the boiler according to the change of market demand.
