Comparison of operation cost between electric boiler and gas boiler?

04 Mar 2022

Taking the 10 tph electric boiler and gas-fired boiler as an example, we analyze their operating costs:

The fuel cost of 10 tph electric boiler: 7,100 kilowatt-hour is multiplied by the local industrial electricity unit price which is nearly 1 RMB, so we can get 1 RMB/kWh and the fuel cost is about 7,100 RMB per hour.

The fuel cost of 10 tph natural gas fired boiler: 700 cubic meters is multiplied by the local natural gas unit price, so we can get 3 RMB/m3 and the fuel cost is about 2,100 RMB per hour.

In the above comparison, the cost of electric boiler is much higher than that of gas-fired boiler. Generally, small tonnage boiler can choose the electric boiler while the larger tonnage boiler can choose the gas-fired boiler. It is recommended that you should choose the suitable boiler type according to your own situation.

ZOZEN Boiler, founded in 1988, is an AAA-level integrity unit that emphasizes service and quality. ZOZEN has independently developed three series of gas-fired boilers which all adopt the large-volume furnace design to ensure the sufficient combustion of the fuel and get a high thermal efficiency of 98% and above. They are also equipped with the ultra-low NOx burner which can easily make the NOx emission concentration lower than 30 mg/Nm3. They can also realize the fully automatic and safe operation to save the operating cost. If you are interested in gas-fired boiler products, welcome to chat with ZOZEN Boiler online.
