Boiler- rule of thumb

A comprehensive tune-up with precision testing equipment to detect and correct excess air losses, smoking, unburned fuel losses, sooting and high stack temperatures can result in boiler fuel savings of 2% to 15%.

An upgraded boiler maintenance program including optimizing air-to-fuel ratio, burner maintenance, and tube cleaning, can save about 2% of a facility’s total energy use.

A 5 degree C Change in boiler exhaust temperature changes to save 1% to 2% of a boiler’s fuel use.

For every 11°F that the entering feed water temperature is increased, the boiler’s fuel use is reduced by 1%.

Effective boiler load management techniques, such as operating on high fire settings or installing smaller boilers, can save over 7% of a typical facility’s total energy use.

A 3% decrease in flue gas O2 typically produces boiler fuel savings of 2%.

Load management measures, including optimal matching of boiler size and boiler load, can save as much as 40% of a boiler’s fuel use.
