Boiler horsepower is a boiler's capacity to deliver steam to a steam engine and is not the same unit of power as the 550 ft lb/s definition. One boiler horsepower is equal to the thermal energy rate required to evaporate 34.5 pounds (15.6 kg) of fresh water at 212 °F (100 °C) in one hour.
The first edition of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, known as the 1914 edition, was a single 114-page volume. [6] [7] It developed over time into the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code, which today has over 92,000 copies in use, in over 100 countries around the world. [5]
Direct method of boiler efficiency test is more usable or more common. Boiler efficiency = power out / power in = Q × (Hg − Hf) / (q × GCV) × 100%. where Q, rate of steam flow in kg/h Hg, enthalpy of saturated steam in kcal/kg Hf, enthalpy of feed water in kcal/kg q, rate of fuel use in kg/h
A horsepower-hour (symbol: hp⋅h) is an outdated unit of energy, not used in the International System of Units.The unit represents an amount of work a horse is supposed capable of delivering during an hour (1 horsepower integrated over a time interval of an hour).
The National Board trains hundreds of boiler and pressure equipment professionals from around the world every year. National Board training facilities are located on a 16-acre (65,000 m 2) wooded campus in Columbus, Ohio.
Due to space and weight considerations the latter were one-pass exhausting directly from fire tube to chimney. Another proponent of "strong steam" at that time was the Cornishman, Richard Trevithick. His boilers worked at 40–50 psi (276–345 kPa) and were at first of hemispherical then cylindrical form.
Three-drum boiler, casing removed. Three-drum boilers are a class of water-tube boiler used to generate steam, typically to power ships. They are compact and of high evaporative power, factors that encourage this use. Other boiler designs may be more efficient, although bulkier, and so the three-drum pattern was rare as a land-based stationary ...
The HP boiler worked at approx 850 psi (5.86 MPa), and the low-pressure boiler at 200 to 250 psi (1.38 to 1.72 MPa). The UHP and HP boilers were of a water-tube design, while the LP boiler was a fire-tube boiler typical for steam locomotives. The LP cylinders were driven with a mixture of the HP cylinder exhaust and the LP boiler output.
