When selecting a steam generator, we first need to determine the amount of steam used, and then select a boiler with corresponding power.
There are usually several methods to calculate steam usage:
1. Calculate the steam usage according to the heat transfer formula. The heat transfer formula estimates steam usage by analyzing the heat output of the equipment. This method is relatively complex and requires considerable technical knowledge.
2. Direct measurement based on steam usage, you can use a flow meter to test.
3. Use the rated thermal power provided by the equipment manufacturer. Equipment manufacturers usually indicate the standard thermal power rating on the equipment nameplate. Rated thermal power is usually marked with heat output in KW, and steam consumption in kg/h depends on the steam pressure used.
According to the specific use of steam, the appropriate model can be selected in the following ways
1. Laundry room steam generator selection
The selection of laundry room steam generator is mainly based on laundry room equipment. Common laundry room equipment includes washing machines, dry cleaners, dryers, ironing machines, etc. Usually, the amount of steam used is marked on the laundry appliance.
2. Hotel steam generator selection
The selection of hotel steam generators is mainly based on the number of hotel rooms, number of employees, occupancy rate, laundry room working hours and other factors. Estimate the amount of steam used to select the steam generator.
3. Selection of steam generators for factories and other occasions
When choosing a steam generator in factories and other occasions, if you have used a steam generator before, you can make a selection based on the previous usage. For new processes or greenfield projects, steam generators should be selected based on the above calculations, measurements and manufacturer’s power ratings.
