BOILER OPTIMIZER PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION
If you can't measure it -You can't improve it !
This program is designed to
evaluate an on-line Power Boiler
. The program will ask you to input real time data and will simultaneously calculate the apparent efficiency using two different methods. Of course you know that these two methods almost never agree but how do you resolve this? Since there is only one REAL efficiency, this program will use the differences in the two methods to systematically help in identifying measurement errors and make corrections until the
MOST PROBABLE EFFICIENCY
is displayed.
With your guidance and experience of the system
, the program will identify instrumentation problems and/or measurement problems such as air leakage due to fan imbalance.
Using statistical methods,
a mathematical model of this boiler will be created
and this will allow predictions of the effect of changing conditions and will allow tracking the performance of the system over time by adjusting back to
STANDARD CONDITIONS
"
A database of information
will accumulate that can be so sensitive that usually, the difference in performance between supposedly identical, side-by-side boilers will be demonstrated. In some cases even the diference in operating procedures between individual shifts can be identified.
Budget and cost performance
will be generated for the boiler under study.
