Boiler - Exhaust Velocity
Recommended boiler exhaust velocities.
Boiler Configuration | Recommended Boiler Exhaust Velocity | |
---|---|---|
m/s | ft/s | |
Ducts at minimum load | < 4.0 | < 13 |
Stack at minimum load | < 5.0 | < 16 |
Boiler with one-step burner (on - off) | 5.0 - 8.0 | 16 - 26 |
Boiler with two-step burner (high - low) | 10 - 15 | 31 - 49 |
Boiler with modulating burner | 15 - 25 | 49 - 82 |
