How many tons of boiler is a 1 million kcal thermal oil furnace?
How many tons of boiler is a 1 million kcal thermal oil furnace? Let’s first understand what a thermal oil furnace is. A thermal oil furnace is a thermal energy equipment typically used to provide thermal energy for industrial production processes. It transfers heat energy to the equipment that needs to be heated by heating and circulating the thermal oil. Thermal oil furnaces have many advantages, such as high heat transfer efficiency, wide heating temperature range, small thermal inertia, and long service life. Therefore, they are widely used in industries such as chemical, petroleum, plastics, rubber, and food.
How many tons of a boiler is a 1 million kcal thermal oil furnace and how to convert it? If we convert a 1 million kcal thermal oil furnace to the boiler’s evaporation capacity, we need to know the boiler’s thermal efficiency and evaporation unit. The common unit of boiler evaporation is ton steam/hour.
How many tons of boiler is a 1 million kcal thermal oil furnace, and the thermal efficiency of the main boiler is 95%? We can convert it as follows:
1. Convert 1 million calories to kilojoules: 1 million calories=10 million kilojoules (1 calories=10 kilojoules).
2. Convert kilojoules to kilowatt hours (kWh): 10 million kilojoules=2777.78 kWh (1 kilojoule=0.000277778 kWh).
3. Convert kilowatt hours to megawatt hours (MWh): 2777.78 kWh=2.77778 MWh (1 kWh=0.001 MWh).
4. Convert megawatt hours to tons of steam per hour: Based on the thermal efficiency of the boiler, assuming 95%, a 2.77778 megawatt hour thermal oil furnace will be equivalent to approximately 3.26 tons of steam per hour of boiler evaporation (1 megawatt hour ≈ 0.95 tons of steam per hour).
