How Much Diesel Oil Is Required to Produce 1 Ton of Steam?

July 14, 2020

The fuel consumption of diesel-fired steam boilers is one of the concerns of many oil-fired boiler customers at present, because as a clean energy boiler, light diesel is the most widely used oil fuel for oil-fired steam boilers. Although the emerging methanol fuel is also environmentally friendly, more diesel-based applications accumulate, so more customers are optimistic about diesel. In addition, the price of light diesel is indeed cheaper than methanol fuel, which will ultimately greatly reduce the operating cost of oil-fired boilers. . So how much diesel does a diesel steam boiler consume per ton of steam?

Calculation formula of oil consumption of diesel-fired steam boiler: fuel oil consumption of fuel-fired steam boiler per hour = 3600*heat power/heat value of diesel/boiler efficiency.
If it is burning diesel, the fuel consumption per hour is about 132kg. A 1 ton diesel steam boiler produces 1 ton of steam per hour, so the fuel consumption of a 1 ton diesel boiler is about 70 liters. However, the calculation result of how much fuel a 2 ton diesel steam boiler consumes per hour is not simply to obtain 140 liters, but to be determined according to the specific use of the boiler and the design thermal efficiency. Generally speaking, the higher the design thermal efficiency, the smaller the boiler oil consumption.

Our oil/gas fired boilers can be divided into SZS series water tube boiler and WNS series fire tube boiler depending on the medium inside the tubes. With multiple pressure designs, the water tube boilers can meet the steam supply requirements of 2.5MPa or above. The fire tube boilers, on the contrary, are intended for use at pressures below 2.5 MPa. Fire tube boilers usually have a capacity of below 20t/h; while water tube ones of 20t/h or more as capacity expansion is possible.
