Abstract
This study demonstrates the effect on energy consumption and operational cost effect of oversized boilers. Potential energy and cost savings are calculated on basis of a heat station containing both fuel oil boiler and electric boiler. Correct installed capacity is defined as a boiler designed to meet the design outdoor temperature, DOT. The baseline for normal consumption is defined by utilization of both boilers. This baseline has then been compared to consumption and cost calculation done with over sized boiler capacity. The calculation is done on an hourly basis for one year. The results show a clear connection between the boiler size and potential savings in energy and cost.
