Cycle Efficiency

Boiler Parameters Explain what a boiler envelope is and identify components typically located within the boiler envelope. Describe types of energy that flow into and out of the boiler envelope. Identify three major factors that affect boiler efficiency. Determining Boiler Efficiency: The Input/Output Method In general terms describe the input/output method of determining boiler efficiency. Describe several factors that affect boiler output energy and several factors that affect boiler input energy. Determining Boiler Efficiency: The Heat Loss Method Describe the main difference between the heat loss method and the input/output method of determining boiler efficiency. Explain how to determine boiler efficiency using the heat loss method. Describe how boiler parameters may affect boiler efficiency as determined by the heat loss method.
