Boiler Efficiency Calculation Methods

This document contains the results of an energy performance assessment of boilers using direct and indirect methods. For the coal fired boiler, the heat input was 3501 kcal/kg of coal and losses accounted for 26.36% of the heat input, resulting in an efficiency of 73.64%. For the oil fired boiler, the heat input was 10000 kcal/kg and losses accounted for 22.18% of the heat input, resulting in an efficiency of 77.18%. The assessment also provides details on fuel consumption rates, steam generation rates, and boiler operating parameters.
