    Fuel Savings and Efficiency Calculator

    Uploaded by

    rajayu20002724
    The document is a fuel savings estimator tool from MicroMod that allows users to calculate potential fuel and cost savings from efficiency improvements to steam boilers. It includes calculators to estimate annual fuel usage and costs under current and improved efficiency scenarios. It also includes a boiler efficiency analysis tool that determines the current and potential improved efficiencies based on operating data. The tool indicates that a 4% efficiency gain could be expected from properly adjusting air flow, with estimated annual savings provided for different boiler and fuel types.

    Efficiency Check:
    Base Case (as Found):

    New Case:

    Have the plant operator set the boiler load to the average load and
    maintain steady conditions ( i.e. Boiler Master in manual )

    Have the plant operator adjust the air flow to the standard %O2
    below. Maintain safe firing by using good boiler operating
    practice (i.e. monitor Combustibles / CO in stack and/or visual
    combustion checks)
