There are many kinds of biomass fuels in the boiler market, such as straw boiler, palm shell boiler, rice husk boiler, wood fired boiler, etc. The calculation of biomass boilers fuel consumption is the same as that of gas fired boilers and coal fired boilers. It is also determined by boiler efficiency and fuel calorific value.The biomass fired boilers was developed by ZOZEN solve ash fouling and slagging in the process of biomass combustion and heat transfer. It has high economic and social benefits.
With society’s growing demand for energy, as the main energy source, fossil fuel is decreasing rapidly. Therefore, looking for a renewable alternative energy resource becomes the focus of social attention. Biomass as an ideal renewable energy, in the current world energy consumption, is paid more and more attention to. Because the fuel of these boilers is very valuable: renewable, low cost, low pollution, high furnace efficiency, wide coverage. So, how to calculate the fuel consumption of biomass fired boilers.
Biomass Boilers Fuel Consumption Calculation
Biomass consumption per hour of biomass boiler =60 million kcal * tonnage / fuel calorific value / boiler combustion efficiency
Taking how much fuel to use for a 10-ton straw steam boiler per hour as an example, a ton is 600,000 calories. Assuming that the heat of fuel is 4,000 kcal and the thermal efficiency of the boiler is 85%, 10 ton biomass pellet boiler fuel consumption per hour: 600,000*10/4,000/85%, which is about 1,800 kg/h.
The biomass boiler produced by ZOZEN can be applied to a variety of biomass fuels, including biomass hot water boilers, biomass steam boilers, biomass fluidized bed boilers and biomass power station boilers, which can meet the different needs of different customers. When customers choose biomass boiler, they will consider the operation cost of the boiler. In addition to labor cost, water cost, electricity cost, maintenance and overhaul cost, the cost of fuel accounts for more than 90%.
