    This document discusses the estimation of heat losses in a boiler system. It provides formulas and calculations for four types of heat losses: 1) Dry flue gas loss of 9.14% due to exhaust gases leaving the boiler at a higher temperature than ambient air. 2) Heat loss of 7.10% due to evaporation of water formed from hydrogen in the fuel. 3) Heat loss of 0.322% from moisture in the intake air. 4) An estimated 2% loss from radiation and other unaccounted sources. The total boiler efficiency is calculated to be 81% based on the losses estimated in the first three steps.

    Step-4: Estimation of all losses

    i. Dry flue gas loss


    m x C p x (T f Ta )
    Percentage heat loss due to dry flue gas = x 100
    GCV of fuel
    m= mass of CO2 + mass of SO2 + mass of N2 +
    mass of O02.84 x 44 0.03 x 64 21 x 77 23
    m (21 14) x
    12 32 100 100

    m = 21 kg / kg of oil
    21 x 0.23 x (220 27)
    x 100 = 9.14 %
    10200
    Alternatively a simple method can be used for
    determining the dry flue gas loss as given
    below. m x C p x (T f Ta )
    x 100
    GCV of fuel
    a) Percentage heat loss due to dry flue gas =

    Total mass of flue gas (m) = mass of actual air


    22 x 0.23 x (220 27)
    supplied + mass of fuel supplied x 100 9.57% = 21
    10200
    + 1=22

    %Dry flue gas loss =


    ii. Heat loss due to evaporation of water formed due to
    H2 in fuel
    9 x H 2 x {584 C p (Tf - Ta )}
    x 100
    GCV of fuel
    =
    x 12 x {584 0.45 (220 - 27 )}
    Where, H2 percentage of H2 in9fuel x 100
    10200
    =

    = 7.10%
    iii. Heat loss due to moisture present in air
    AAS x humidity x C p x (T f Ta )
    = x 100
    GCV of fuel

    21 x 0.018 x 0.45 x (220 27)


    = = 0.322 x 100
    10200
    iv Heat loss due to radiation and other
    unaccounted losses
    For a small boiler it is estimated to be 2%
    Boiler Efficiency

    i. Heat loss due to dry flue gas : 9.14%

    ii.Heat loss due to evaporation of water formed due to H 2 in fuel :


    7.10 %

    iii.Heat loss due to moisture present in air : 0.322 %


    iv.Heat loss due to radiation and other unaccounted loss : 2%

    Boiler Efficiency = 100- [9.14+7.10+0.322+2]


    = 100 18.56 = 81 (app)
    Evaporation Ratio = Heat utilised for steam generation/Heat addition to
    the steam
    = 10200 x 0.83/ (660-60)
