Understanding Fuel Savings in the Boiler Room
When reviewing fuel consumption and price figures for natural gas and fuel oil, it becomes apparent that when operated at 25% capacity factor, a boiler will consume at least twice its capital cost in fuel every year. An oil-fired burner will consume at least four times its cost in fuel every year. Because of their relatively low capital cost and high impact on boiler efficiency, burner and combustion control retrofits offer boiler owners the quickest paybacks based on energy savings.
