If you can't measure it -You can't
improve it!
boilerOptimizer
Your Boiler Diagnostics Tool, Version
2.0
This PC based computer program is designed to evaluate
and diagnose one or more on-line Power Boiler(s). It will
give you a detailed summary of performance & cost data while
identifying and correcting for measurement problems.
Version 2.0 has been improved to emphasise
Fuel Cost Savings.
Here's a surprise for you!! Boiler Effiicency is not really that important!!
It is a means to an end and the end is REDUCING FUEL COSTS.
Now boilerOptimizer answers these
types of questions;
"we tried increasing the soot blowing
frequency this shift and want to know; what are the dollar savings
that are measured and predicted?"
"what is the best steam load for
this boiler today that minimizes our cost per lb of steam??"
"what are the projected annual
dollar savings for this boiler if we can reduce the excess oxygen
from the current value of 3.9% at this load to our target of
2.6% ???"
Energy Management on a disk will provide you with detailed
performance information that you might have required an outside
consultant to generate for you in the past. Go to the next
management meeting with up-to-date cost information.
Helps you answer the question, " What is the optimum
load distribution , fuel mix and excess air conditions to
minimize my fuel costs?"
All other efficiency programs ASSUME all measured values
are accurate!. boilerOptimizer does not!
The program will ask you to input real time data and
will simultaneously calculate the apparent efficiency using
the mass balance Input/Output and the Loss methods. Of course
you know that these two methods almost never agree. The reason
is that there is always some data that is doubtful because instruments
are never dead accurate. How do you resolve this? Since there
is only one REAL efficiency, this program will use the differences
in the two methods and other redundancies 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"What
If" 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 difference in operating procedures between
individual shifts can be identified.
Budget and cost performance information will
be generated for the boilers under study allowing an optimization
strategy to be implemented through load shifting or fuel mixes.
This program is intended to supplement your existing
computer programs, not replace them!
That said! If you need and want an experienced
energy audit consultant to come to your site, to use and
train in the use of any or all of these programs, we can do that
for you also!
