Boiler capacity unit
Thread Content
The units for boiler capacity are MW and t/h; what do they mean? What is the relationship between the two? How to convert them?
The capacity of a steam boiler is expressed in terms of its evaporation rate, with the unit being t/h (commonly referred to as steam tons). The capacity of a hot water boiler is expressed in terms of heat power (formerly known as heating capacity), with the unit being MW. The capacity unit for hot water boilers should not be converted to that of steam boilers; in other words, the capacity of hot water boilers cannot be expressed in t/h. On the contrary, when calculating the total capacity of various boilers, thermal power in MW is commonly used internationally. In other words, the capacity of steam boilers also needs to be converted to MW for statistics. Strictly speaking, when the evaporation capacity of steam boilers is the same, their steam enthalpy varies depending on the rated pressure and temperature ； In other words, when the evaporation rate is the same, steam boilers with different rated pressures and temperatures have different thermal powers, though the difference is not very large. For ease of statistics, 1 t/h is uniformly converted to 0.7 MW.
Agree with the person above. However, in daily life, especially with small hot water boilers, it is also common for people to convert power into t/h instead.
1t/h = 0.7MW
The capacity unit for hot water boilers and organic heat carrier boilers is MW, while for steam boilers it is tons (T/H); 1 T/H = 0.7 MW
1 ton = 0.7 MW; the term \"ton\" refers to the amount of steam produced. In other words, a boiler with a capacity of 0.7 MW can theoretically produce one ton of steam
