What is the conversion formula between thermal power and power of gas boiler?

25 Feb 2022

gas-fired boiler is a kind of thermal equipment that uses the thermal energy released by fuel combustion or other thermal energy to heat the medium to the rated temperature. With the strict environmental protection, gas-fired boilers are widely used in power generation, heating, factory processing and so on. Boiler thermal power refers to the continuous heat production per unit time of hot water boiler at rated parameters, rated flow, designed fuel and guaranteed efficiency. So how to convert the boiler thermal power and power, and what is the thermal power formula?

 

There are many expressions of boiler thermal power. If you want to determine the formula of boiler thermal power, you must first confirm which expressions of thermal power are. There are three main types of boiler thermal power:

  1. Kcal/hour (kcal/h) is a metric unit, which means the heat that the hot water boiler can provide per hour;
  2. Ton/hour (t/h) is a popular term for steam boilers.
  3. Megawatt (MW) is an international unit, and the basic unit is W, that is, 1 MW = 106 W. It is mainly used in official documents.

 

The thermal power formula for conversion is: 600,000 Kcal/h=1t/h=0.7MW
