What is the relationship between a boiler’s horsepower rating and its MW value?

2009-03-17View Original

Thread Content

The MW rating of a boiler varies depending on its steam pressure and temperature. Small boilers are roughly 1 t/h = 0.7 MW, but it seems this rule does not apply to large boilers. I would like to know what the equivalent MW value is for standard boilers of various capacities. I’ve been quite confused; thanks for the advice!

Steam output (KG/H) = Boiler rated power (KW) * 3600 / (Steam enthalpy – Feedwater enthalpy)

In boilers, 0.7 MW is generally considered to be equivalent to 1 steam ton. For example, a 14MW hot water boiler is equivalent to a 20t/h steam boiler.

Brother upstairs, small boilers can be converted in this way, but large boilers cannot be converted in the same manner.

This algorithm is just an estimation algorithm
