To measure the boiler efficiency in indirect method, parameter like these are needed: Ultimate analysis of fuel (H 2, S 2, S, C, moisture constraint, ash constraint) Percentage of O 2 or CO 2 at flue gas; Flue gas temperature at outlet; Ambient temperature in °C and humidity of air in kg/kg; GCV of fuel in kcal/kg; Ash percentage in ...
The lower the return temperature to the boiler the more likely it will be in condensing mode. If the return temperature is kept below approximately 55 °C (131 °F), the boiler should still be in condensing mode making low temperature applications such as radiant floors and even old cast iron radiators a good match for the technology.
The higher heating value takes into account the latent heat of vaporization of water in the combustion products, and is useful in calculating heating values for fuels where condensation of the reaction products is practical (e.g., in a gas-fired boiler used for space heat). In other words, HHV assumes all the water component is in liquid state ...

Primary energy sources may be fuels like coal or wood, oil, kerosene, natural gas, or electricity. Compared with systems such as fireplaces and wood stoves, a central heating plant offers improved uniformity of temperature control over a building, usually including automatic control of the furnace.
A boiler incorporates a firebox or furnace in order to burn the fuel and generate heat. The generated heat is transferred to water to make steam, the process of boiling. This produces saturated steam at a rate which can vary according to the pressure above the boiling water. The higher the furnace temperature, the faster the steam production.
The EU standard test conditions for an air source heat pump is at dry-bulb temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) for and 7 °C (44.6 °F) for . [9] Given sub-zero European winter temperatures, real world heating performance is significantly poorer than such standard COP figures imply.
The average summer temperature is around 71°F. In winter, this falls just a touch to 70°F. Here’s a winter breakdown for thermostat settings across the U.S., according to the survey participants:
