Combustion Efficiency
Combustion efficiency is the effectiveness of the burner only and relates to its ability to completely burn the fuel. The boiler has little bearing on combustion efficiency. A well-designed burner will operate with as little as 15% to 20% excess air, while converting all combustibles in the fuel to thermal energy.
Thermal Efficiency
Thermal efficiency is the effectiveness of the heat transfer in a boiler. It does not take into account boiler radiation and convection losses - for example, from the boiler shell, water column piping, etc.
Fuel-to-Steam Efficiency
The thermal efficiency of an industrial boiler is a measure of how effectively the boiler converts the energy contained in the fuel into usable heat. It is typically expressed as a percentage, indicating the ratio of heat output for heating or producing steam to the energy input from the fuel consumed. This efficiency is crucial for understanding the performance of a boiler, as it directly impacts fuel consumption, operational costs, and environmental emissions.

A hybrid or combination boiler system refers to a heating system that combines two different types of heating technologies or fuels to optimize efficiency, performance, and cost-effectiveness. This system typically involves the integration of a traditional gas or oil boiler with a renewable energy source, such as a solar thermal system, a biomass boiler, or a heat pump. The idea is to harness the strengths of both systems to achieve greater energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
