Calculation of fuel gas for heating furnace
Thread Content
I’m seeking help from fellow sailors: We have 6 ordinary vertical tube-type heating furnaces here that use liquefied gas as fuel. There are no means of adjustment available; the only controls are the smoke duct baffles at the top and the air valves at the bottom. I’d like to calculate how much fuel gas is used per hour – how can I do that? Thank you
First, calculate the heat absorption of the material; then measure the inlet air temperature and volume, as well as the exhaust gas temperature and volume. Finally, the calculation can be done using the calorific value of the liquefied gas. Make an estimate
The power of the heating furnace, its efficiency, and the calorific value of the fuel are required to make the calculation
Do any of you have the formula? Calculation steps? Thank you
The conditions aren’t complete, I guess. It depends on how many calories you need
