Boiler rating is usually defined in terms of :

  • A.Steam output in kg/hr
  • B.Maximum temperature of steam in Kelvin
  • C.Heat transfer rate in kJ/hr
  • D.Heat transfer area in \(\text{meter}^{2}\)

Answer: A

Boiler rating is usually defined in terms of steam output in kg/hr.

A boiler's capacity is stated as the mass of steam it can generate per hour, often reduced to an 'equivalent evaporation' from and at 100°C so that boilers working at different pressures and feed temperatures can be compared.

The maximum steam temperature describes the quality of the steam, not the quantity a boiler can supply. A heat transfer rate in kJ/hr is not the conventional rating figure, and the heating surface area is a design dimension of the boiler rather than a measure of what it delivers.
