: Can anyone help me with a simple understanding for a boiler efficiency test. How long should one last, what intervals to take readings and what readings to take. Where should the probes be placed if not already in place. I need this information for my 2nd Class engineers exam for the state of MA.
This is not an official answer but is based on running hundreds of tests on many different types of boilers. I have several pages of recommendations, record sheets and a detailed boiler efficiency computer program on my website www.boileroptimizer.com Hope this helps
