How many tons are the rated thermal power of 42 MW of industrial boiler?

As an important heat energy supply equipment, industrial boiler is widely used in food, electronics, paper making, building materials, textiles and chemical industries. According to the medium, industrial boilers can be divided into steam boilers, hot water boilers and thermal oil heaters. In order to solve the problem "How many tons are the rated thermal power of 42 MW of industrial boiler?" First of all, we need to know the basic knowledge of rated thermal power and unit ton.

The rated thermal power of boiler refers to the continuous heat production of hot water boiler in a unit time under the conditions of rated parameters, rated flow rate, with the use of design fuel and guarantee of efficiency. Unit is traditionally expressed in megawatts.

Rated evaporation refers to the amount of steam produced continuously per unit time under the specified outlet pressure, temperature and efficiency. Maximum continuous evaporation refers to the maximum continuous steam output per unit time under the specified outlet pressure and temperature. Evaporation units are traditionally expressed in tons per hour.

Generally speaking, the corresponding relationship between evaporation and heat power is 1t/h = 1000kg/h = 0.7MW = 720kw = 600,000kcal/h = 600mcal/h.

According to the above calculation, the rated thermal power of 42MW equals to 60 tons.
