Water consumption of the boiler
Thread Content
How many tons of softened water does an 8-ton boiler use per hour? How many cubic feet of steam can be produced? How many tons of water will be produced by the evaporation and condensation of this water?
A 8-ton furnace should require 8 tons of softened water per hour. The amount of steam produced depends on the parameters of your system, especially pressure and temperature, but the mass remains 8 tons. If there are no losses and it’s just a case of heat exchange, then the amount of water after condensation is still 8 tons. It’s like a riddle
For an 8-ton steam boiler, the steam production rate should be 8 T/H. The amount of water used to produce steam, plus the amount of wastewater generated, means that the typical wastewater volume is about 1% of the steam produced. The amount of condensed water recovered should be less than 8 tons, as there are inevitably losses during the recovery process.
An 8-ton furnace should use 8 tons of water; the recycled cold water will definitely be less than 8 tons, as losses are inevitable.
For a 8-ton boiler, the water softening equipment required is also 8 tons per hour; the overall loss in recycled cold water is approximately 3-5%
