    Boiler Formulas

    Common Conversion Factors


    Boiler HP x 34.5 = Lbs. of Steam per Hour
    Boiler HP x .069 = Evaporation Rate Gallons per Minute (GPM)
    Boiler HP x 33.4 = MBTU per Hour Output (MBH)
    Boiler HP x 139 = Sq. Feet of Equivalent Direct Radiation (EDR)
    BTU/Hour Output ÷ 240 = Sq. Feet of Equivalent Direct Radiation (EDR)
    EDR/1000 x 0.5 = Evaporation Rate Gallons per Minute (GPM)
    Lbs of Steam /Hr ÷ 500 = Evaporation Rate Gallons per Minute (GPM)

    Condensate Pump Sizing


    Evaporation Rate x 3 = Pump GPM Required
    Pump GPM x 1 = Receiver Tank Size (Gallons Storage)
    SUPPORT LINKS
    Honeywell Example: 2,400,000 output boiler ÷ 240 = 10,000 EDR
    Fireye 10,000 EDR ÷ 1000 ÷ 2 = 5 GPM
    5 GPM x 3 = 15 GPM pump capacity
    15 GPM x 1 = 15 gallon tank

    HELPFUL LINKS Boiler Feed Unit Sizing


    Thomas Register Evaporation Rate x 1.85 = Pump GPM Required
    Hester-Bradley Evaporation Rate x 20 = Receiver Tank Size (Gallon Storage @ 20
    minutes)
    ABMA
    Rule of Thumb: Use one gallon of storage per boiler horsepower.

    Example: 3,347,900 output boiler ÷ 33,479 = 100 BHP


    100 BHP x .069 = 6.9 GPM
    6.9 GPM x 1.85 = 12.7 Pump GPM Req.
    6.9 GPM x 20 = 138 Gallons Storage

    Debco Equipment Co., Determining Existing Tank Capacity
    Inc 2003
    Square Tank Volume = H" x W" x L" ÷ 231 = Gallons Capacity
    Round Tank Volume = R" x R" x 3.141 x L" ÷ 231 = Gallons Capacity

    H is height, W is width, L is length, R is radius

    Circulation Pump Sizing

    BTU = 500 x GPM x ^T


    GPM = BTU ÷ 500 x ^T
    ^T = BTU ÷ 500 x GPM
    ^T is the change in temperature
