High Efficiency and Energy Saving!All About High Efficiency Oil Boilers

What is the high efficiency oil boilers?

High efficiency oil boilers are boilers that optimize combustion process and heating exchange design, achieve high thermal efficiency and low pollutant emission.

The distinction between high efficiency and standard model oil boilers.

Thermal efficiency

High efficiency oil boilers: Have a good use of fuel calorie, thermal efficient typically up to 90% or more.

Standard oil boilers：Thermal efficiency is generally around 80%-90%, combustion is not sufficient,heat loss is relatively high.

Operating cost

High efficiency oil boilers: Initial investment cost is high,but due to high thermal efficiency, fuel consumption is reduced in long-term operation, operating cost is relatively low.

Standard oil boilers: Lower initial investment cost, but more fuel consumption during operation, higher long-term operating costs.

Benefits of high efficiency oil boilers

More energy-efficient than standard model

Significance reduction in fuel consumption: Thermal efficiency increases for every 1%, fuel consumption can be reduced by about 1% for the same heating demand. Take 1 ton steam boiler as an example, the traditional model needs to consume about 65-70kg of diesel fuel per hour, while the high-efficiency model needs only 58-62kg, which can save 10%-15% of fuel for annual operation (based on the calculation of 3,000 hours of annual operation, the amount of fuel saved per year can be up to 1.5-3 tons).

Minimization of heat loss: high-efficiency boiler recovers latent heat in the flue gas through condensing technology, which converts the heat of high-temperature flue gas that cannot be utilized by the traditional boiler (about 15%-20%) into effective heat, and greatly reduces the loss of flue gas; meanwhile, the optimized heat preservation design reduces the loss of heat dissipation of the furnace body.

More efficient than gas and electric system

Unrestricted by gas supply: In some areas,gas supply is unstable or has great fluctuate in price. High efficiency oil boilers use oil as fuel, which are not limited by gas supply, is suitable for long-term operation.

Low operating cost: Though thermal efficiency of gas boilers is high,the price of gas is higher than oil in some areas. In addition, electric heating systems typically have higher operating costs, especially in areas with high electricity prices. In contrast, high-efficiency oil boilers have lower operating costs.

Wide application: High efficiency oil boilers are suitable for a wide range of application scenarios, including industrial production, heating and hot water supply. Their flexibility and adaptability make them an ideal heat source option.

Cost of high efficient oil boiler

Cost of replacing an oil boiler

• Price of equipment: The price of a high efficiency oil boiler varies depending on power and efficiency. In general, the price range for a 15-35 kW high efficiency oil boiler is between $2,500 and $6,000.
• Installation Cost: Installation costs typically range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the complexity of the installation and local labor rates.
• Total Cost: Combining equipment and installation costs, the total cost of replacing a high efficiency oil boiler typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,500.

Cost comparison between oil heating and gas heating

Energy costs:

• Oil heating: The operating costs of an oil boiler are greatly affected by fluctuations in the price of oil. In some areas, the price of fuel oil may be higher than natural gas, but the thermal efficiency of oil-fired boilers is high, with some high-efficiency models reaching over 95%.
• Gas heating: gas boiler operating costs are relatively stable, natural gas prices fluctuate less, and the thermal efficiency is generally between 85% -90%.

Equipment Costs:

• Oil Boilers: equipment acquisition costs and installation costs are relatively low, especially in areas without natural gas pipelines.
• Gas Boilers: Equipment purchase and installation costs can be high, especially if natural gas piping or low-NOx retrofits are required.

Maintenance Costs:

• Oil Boilers: maintenance costs are relatively low and consist mainly of regular inspections of burners and heat exchangers.
• Gas boilers: require regular inspection of gas piping and burners to prevent gas leakage, and maintenance costs are relatively high.

Is it worth buying high efficiency oil boilers

High-efficiency oil-fired boilers have significant advantages in terms of thermal efficiency, environmental performance and operating costs. Especially in regions where gas supply is unstable or gas prices fluctuate greatly, their feature of not being restricted by gas supply makes them an ideal heat source choice. Although the initial investment cost of high-efficiency oil-fired boilers is relatively high, their energy-saving effect and environmental advantages make them have a high cost performance in long-term operation.

Conclusion:choose a suitable boiler

Choosing the right boiler requires should consider short-term economic benefits and focus on long-term sustainable development. High efficiency oil boilers provide an ideal heat source solution with their high efficiency, energy saving, and environmentally friendly features.
