How much steam a boiler of a given power produces, or what power is needed for a required amount of steam; gas and water consumption.
Approximate calculation using a simplified model: for designing equipment and process modes, consult a technologist.
Calculates how much steam a steam generator of a given power produces, or what power is needed for the required amount of steam at a given pressure and feed water temperature. Shows fuel power, natural gas and feed water consumption including blowdown.
Calculation uses saturated steam tables: steam enthalpy minus feed water enthalpy. Losses in steam lines, condensate return and superheat are not taken into account.
The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
