Cycle Efficiency

This course is designed to familiarize participants with the concept of a boiler envelope and with the input/output method and the heat loss method of determining boiler efficiency. After completing this course, participants should be able to explain what a boiler envelope is and identify energy flows into and out of the boiler envelope. They should also be able to describe how the input/output method and the heat loss method are used to determine boiler efficiency, and identify factors that must be considered when each method is used. Also covered are factors over which the boiler operator has some control.
