What is the general thermal efficiency of natural gas boilers?
The thermal efficiency of boiler refers to the percentage of effective heat in the heat delivered by fuel. The thermal efficiency of boiler is one of the important indexes to reflect the energy efficiency of boiler. Many users often ask, what is the general thermal efficiency of natural gas boilers? In this page, ZOZEN Boiler will analyze the thermal efficiency of natural gas boiler and introduce the calculation method of thermal efficiency.
What is the general thermal efficiency of natural gas boiler?
According to the industrial boiler energy efficiency limit value and energy efficiency grade GB24500-2009, the specific answers to the general thermal efficiency of natural gas boilers may be 88%, 90%, 92% and 94%. The thermal efficiency of ZOZEN natural gas boiler can reach over 98%, which is generally superior to the market level.
How to calculate the thermal efficiency of natural gas boiler?
Generally, there are two methods to calculate the thermal efficiency of natural gas boilers: positive balance method and reverse balance method:
Positive equilibrium method
What is the general thermal efficiency of natural gas boiler = effective utilization of heat/all heat released by fuel * 100% = boiler evaporation * (steam enthalpy-feedwater enthalpy)/fuel consumption * low calorific value of fuel * 100%
Anti-equilibrium method
Generally, what is the thermal efficiency of natural gas boiler = 100%-sum of the percentages of various heat losses = 100%-heat loss of exhaust gas-heat loss of incomplete combustion of gas-heat loss of heat dissipation.

From beverage and convenience food production to rice processing, boiler solutions should be selected according to fuel availability, steam demand and site conditions. Steam is commonly used for heating, sterilization and equipment cleaning in food processing. However, different products, production line configurations and fuel conditions create different boiler requirements. In addition to rated steam capacity, food manufacturers need to consider steam pressure, fuel supply, equipment layout a...20 Oct 2026 -
On October 1, 2026, local time, the three-day AHR Expo Mexico 2026 came to a close at the Expo Guadalajara Convention Center. The ZOZEN Boiler sales team traveled to Mexico to participate in the exhibition. At Booth 1847, the team presented industrial boiler products and used the event as an opportunity to learn more about industrial heat demand in Mexico and across Latin America.

Cambodian rice processor AMRU Rice generates a large amount of rice husk during production and requires a stable steam supply for cleaning, steaming, drying, and other processing stages. Based on the company’s fuel availability and steam demand, ZOZEN Boiler supplied an ASME-compliant DZL series single-drum biomass boiler. The boiler converts rice processing by-products into thermal energy and provides continuous steam for the production line. ZOZEN DZL Biomass Steam Boiler Supports Ric...06 Oct 2026
