What are the three ways to reduce the purchasing cost of gas-fired boilers?

When it refers to how to reduce the procurement cost of industrial boilers, many corporate users will be first to take measures to effectively reduce the related costs involved in the boiler procurement process, such as the boiler equipment cost, transportation cost, loading and unloading cost, insurance cost, installation and commissioning cost, labor cost, acceptance and inspection cost.

Actually, these corporate users pay too much attention to the direct procurement cost, so they often neglect to consider other hidden costs, which will not achieve the purpose of reducing the procurement cost and will even cause greater loss. Next, ZOZEN will introduce two hidden costs that are operating cost and maintenance cost during the boiler procurement process for you.

1. Boiler operating cost

The operating cost refers to the total cost during the boiler operation including energy consumption cost (fuel cost, electricity cost, water cost, etc.), labor cost, maintenance cost, etc. The service life of a set of boiler in a good operating condition can reach 20-30 years, so the boiler operating cost is an important factor affecting its life cycle cost. The operating cost control is essential for reducing the cost of the while life cycle of the boiler.

The fuel cost is a considerable expenditure in the boiler operation, so the gas consumption is an important indicator that corporate users will pay attention to when purchasing gas-fired boilers. The gas consumption of gas-fired boilers (per hour) = boiler thermal power * time / fuel calorific value / boiler calorific value utilization efficiency. Via the formula, we can find that gas consumption is mainly affected by fuel calorific value and boiler thermal efficiency. Besides, the loading condition during the boiler operation, operating methods of the operators and other factors will also affect the gas consumption.

Because different boiler manufacturers have different production technology and quality, the boiler thermal efficiency is different as well. Therefore, when we purchase the boiler, we can not choose the cheap boiler but with high energy consumption because there can be high fuel cost during the later boiler operation period.

2. Boiler maintenance cost

In addition to the operating cost, enterprises should also consider the maintenance cost when purchasing boilers, which mainly includes the boiler equipment repair cost, regular inspection and repair cost, boiler part replacement cost, etc. What’s more, it also includes the labor cost, materials cost for boiler parts, cost for checking the boiler equipment, testing cost, etc.

Boiler is a kind of important equipment in the production and daily life of enterprises, so the boiler operation must be very reliable. Why? Once the boiler fails, the enterprise can only be forced to suspend the production during the period from boiler repair to restoration, which can cause great economic loss for the enterprise.

In conclusion, when purchasing industrial boilers, corporate users should not only consider the direct procurement cost, but also comprehensively consider the production strength of boiler manufacturer, boiler thermal efficiency, boiler quality, boiler after-sales services and other factors. They should consider the boiler operating cost and maintenance cost, so as to reduce the overall costs and maximize the corporate benefits.

The condensing gas-fired boiler produced by ZOZEN Boiler combines the advanced combustion technology and experience at home and abroad to ensure the sufficient fuel combustion. At the same time, it is equipped with energy-saving devices such as condenser at the end of the boiler’s flue gas duct to sufficiently absorb the heat released by fuel combustion. It has good energy-saving and eco-friendly performance. Its thermal efficiency can reach over 98% and the thermal efficiency of the customized boiler system is 5% higher than ordinary systems. A set of 10 tph boiler can save more than 700,000 yuan of fuel cost a year, which can successfully help enterprises from various industries reduce the production cost.
