What is the boiler horsepower of a boiler generating 21,500 lbs of steam per hour at 155 psi?
The factor of evaporation is 1.08.
BHP = (LB/HR*fe)/34.5
BHP = (LB/HR*fe)/34.5
BHP = 21500 * 1.08 / 34.5
BHP = 673
Where,
BHP boiler horsepower
Lb/Hr pounds per hour
Fe factor of evaporation (can be assumed to be equal to 1)
