What are the operating costs of 1 ton oil-fired boiler?

08 Apr 2022

Before purchasing a set of oil-fired boiler, users should not only care about the quality and price of the boiler, but also consider the thermal efficiency and operating cost of the boiler. Oil-fired boiler is a kind of large-scale industrial equipment, and its energy-saving effect determines the operating cost of a ton of oil-fired boiler, so enterprises should pay attention to it.

Generally speaking, the operating cost of one ton oil-fired boiler mainly includes fuel cost, electricity cost, water cost, labor cost and daily maintenance cost. Next, take ZOZEN 1-ton oil-fired boiler as an example, simply estimate the operating cost of 1-ton oil-fired boiler.

 

1. Fuel cost
The rated steam output of a ton oil-fired boiler is 1 ton per hour. Considering the different factors of fuel oil quality in different regions, the oil consumption is about 60kg. The unit price of fuel oil is calculated according to 5 yuan (the price fluctuates slightly), and the cost is: 1×60×5=300 yuan/hour, that is, the operating cost of a ton oil-fired boiler is 300 yuan.

2. Electricity cost
The main electricity consumption of a ton oil-fired boiler is burner and water pump, while others are weak, and the total power of the motor is about 3Kw. In the normal operation of the boiler, the power consumption is 0.65 times of the full load power, and the calculated power consumption is 3Kw×0.65=1.95Kw According to the electricity 1 yuan/kWh, the electricity consumption is 1.95Kw×1=1.95 yuan/hour, that is, the electricity cost of one ton of oil-fired boiler is 1.95 yuan.

3. Water cost
One ton of oil-fired boiler can turn one ton of water into one ton of steam in one hour. In the middle, due to sewage discharge and softened water, it takes about 1.1 ton of water to produce one ton of steam during normal use. According to the water price of 3.6 yuan/ton, the water cost is: 1×1.1×3.6=3.96 yuan/hour.

4. Labor cost
The oil boiler is fully automatic boiler guard, which only requires workers to patrol back and forth. According to two shifts, if an inspector works 12 hours a day and earns 3,000 yuan a month, the labor cost of one hour is: 3000x2 person-times ÷30 days ÷24 hours =8.33 yuan/hour.

5. Maintenance cost
The boiler runs stably, the failure rate is very low, and the maintenance cost is relatively low. The annual maintenance cost of a one-ton oil-fired boiler is about 1200 yuan. According to 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, the maintenance cost for one hour is: 1200 yuan ÷365 days ÷ 24 hours = 0.14 yuan/hour.

Accordingly, it can be estimated that the operating cost of 1-ton oil-fired boiler is about 300+1.95+3.96+8.33+0.14=314.38 yuan per hour.(314.38 yuan is about 50 dollars).

 

With the above estimation of the operating cost of 1-ton oil-fired boiler, users can comprehensively consider the cost and analyze whether the investment of the boiler project is feasible before purchasing the oil-fired boiler. Sincere advice from ZOZEN Boiler: Buying an energy-saving oil-fired boiler is far more cost-effective than buying a low-priced boiler.
