Don’t know how many tons of boiler you need? Select your industry and machinery to find the required steam, hot water, or thermal oil boiler capacity with the Boiler Capacity Calculator wizard. This page, on the other hand, converts a known steam flow rate to thermal power (or vice versa).
The capacity of steam boilers is usually expressed in tons/hour (t/h) of steam, while heating systems are expressed in kW or kcal/h. This tool makes the correct conversion between the two. The conversion is not a fixed coefficient: it depends on the boiler pressure and feedwater temperature.
Formula
hg: saturated steam enthalpy at boiler pressure, hfw: feedwater enthalpy. Enthalpies are calculated with IAPWS-IF97.
Example
The thermal power of a boiler producing 5 t/h of steam at 10 bar(g) pressure with 80 °C feedwater is approximately 3,397 kW. Under these conditions, 1 t/h steam ≈ 679 kW thermal power.
