The boiler efficiency programme module may be applied to boilers fired pulverised coal, oil, gas, biomass, as well as to fluidised bed boilers and heat recovery steam generators. The module software
enables also calculations to be performed for simultaneous combustion of several fuels.
The module calculates thermal balance, heat loss and efficiency on the basis of current measurements that have been taken from a database or from the control system. The results in each calculation cycle are made available to operators in the form of screen graphics. The data obtained from
these calculations are also recorded in the database and can be analysed at a later date.
Depending on the boiler size and fuel type, the calculations are carried out either by the direct method
or by the loss method. For coal fired boilers, the efficiency is calculated by determining the main heat
loss. In addition, the flue gas composition necessary for calculations is determined by iterative procedures.

The operators, having quantitative information on the influence of individual parameters on the boiler
efficiency, are then able to individually take cost-effective measures during the boiler operation.
