External Vent Condenser Savings
Used to calculate the approximate cost savings of adding an external vent condenser to a deaerator.
Heat Loss
Calculate the heat loss incurred on a deaerator without an external vent condenser.
Venting rate ranges between 0.1% and 0.5% but is typically 0.3%.
Fuel Cost
Select a typical fuel source. Show approximate energy content and heat conversion efficiency.
Note: An average price is provided for the selected fuel source per unit of measure.
Natural Gas note: If the price for natural gas is based on $ per 1,000 cubic feet, divide that price by 10. For example, if the cost for natural gas is $16.50 per 1,000 cubic feet, then divide by 10 and enter $1.65 as the price per therm.
Payback
How long it takes before the purchase of an external vent condenser pays for itself based on above criteria.
