BOILER BLOWDOWN RATE

What is the boiler blowdown rate for a 10,000#/hr boiler working at 8.6 cycles of boiler water concentration?

BR = (1 / CC) * BC
                            BR = (1 / CC) * BC
                            BR = (1 / 8.6) * 10,000
                            BR = 1,163#/hr
Where,
                            BR Blowdown rate
                            BC Boiler capacity in #/hr
NOTE – To convert the previous example from #/lb to GPM’s follow the following conversion:
                            GPM’s = [ (#/hr )/ 8.33 ] / 60
