Oil is certainly more expensive than gas, coal and biomass. If the biomass fuel is 700 yuan/ton, the oil fuel like methanol can reach 1500 yuan/ton, or even higher. However, the specific customer needs destine that the environment-friendly oil-fired boiler has a special place in the field of boilers.

At present, the common series of condensing oil-fired boilers are mainly light diesel oil boilers, methanol boilers, alcohol-based fuel boilers, kerosene boilers and oil-fired boilers. The main types of these boilers are SZS condensing boilers and WNS horizontal fast-loading boilers. Of course, some of them use oil-fired boilers to generate electricity. Because of the particularity of the type of oil-fired boiler, its combustion efficiency is generally more than 95%, and the calorific value of oil is very high. Therefore, in the calculation of fuel consumption of oil-fired boiler, it is easy to get a satisfactory result for customers who want to buy oil-fired boiler.

1. Oil Consumption Calculation of High Efficiency Oil-fired Boilers

(1) Hourly fuel consumption of running oil-fired steam boilers = hourly gas production of oil-fired steam boilers * (fuel steam heat - feed water heat) / fuel low calorific value * boiler thermal efficiency

(2) Oil consumption = water weight (Kg) * specific heat capacity of water * temperature difference (temperature difference between inlet and outlet water) / oil heating value * boiler thermal efficiency after 1 hour operation of oil-fired hot water boiler

The above two methods are more specific, but in fact, we can use the unified calculation formula of boiler fuel consumption to estimate roughly. After the parameters of the boiler are really determined, the engineers of the boiler manufacturer can calculate it accurately.

General formula for calculating oil consumption per hour for oil-fired boilers: 3600*thermal power/fuel calorific value/boiler thermal efficiency Taking a 10-ton oil-fired boiler as an example, its thermal power is 7MW. Assuming that the combustion heat value of an oil fuel is 42Mj/kg and the fuel efficiency of the boiler is 95%, it can be concluded that the fuel consumption per hour of a 10-ton boiler is 3600*7/42/0.95, which is about 630 kg.

2, Reference Table of Hourly Fuel Consumption for Oil-fired Boilers of Various Tonnages (Assumed Conditions are the same as above)

1 t condensing oil-fired boiler needs 63 kg oil consumption per hour 2 t small oil-fired boiler needs 126 kg oil consumption per hour
3 ton horizontal oil-fired boilers consume 189 kg/h 4 ton oil-fired boilers consume 252 kg/h
5 tons of oil-fired boilers consume 315kg of fuel per hour 6t oil-fired boilers require 873kg of fuel consumption per hour
8 tons of condensed oil boiler 1 hour fuel consumption 504kg 10 tons of fast-loading fuel gas boiler hourly fuel consumption 630kg
Oil consumption of 12 ton oil-fired boiler in one hour is 756 kg 15 ton oil furnace needs 945kg fuel per hour
1 hour oil consumption of 20 ton oil-fired boiler is 1260 kg 25 ton oil-fired steam boiler consumes 1575 kg of oil per hour
30 tons of oil-fired boilers consume 1890kg per hour 40 ton oil-fired boiler consumes 2520 kg oil per hour
50 tons of energy-saving oil-fired boiler requires 1 hour of oil for 1 hour 60 tons of condensed oil boiler fuel consumption per hour 8730kg
