注意，中型低压蒸汽锅炉通常用于多单元住宅、商业、机构和小型工业应用，用于空间和工艺用水加热。作为一个整体，它们的性能是所有加热设备技术中记录最少的。基于两种方法的九台蒸汽锅炉效率测量报告——基于ANSI标准的改进基准方法和适用于低压蒸汽锅炉的简化方法。提供并讨论结果。说明调查结果表明需要优化锅炉控制和锅炉尺寸，并调查几种可用替代锅炉的效率。 包括对研究中使用的效率测量方法进行标准化的建议。关键词:锅炉、测量、效率、蒸汽锅炉、低压、空间供暖、热水供应、家用、商用、工业、美国、测试、现场测试、控制、尺寸。引用:研讨会，ASHRAE Trans。，1993年，第99卷，第2部分，论文编号DE-93-1-1429-439，图7，表2，参考文献。

Notes that intermediate-sized, low-pressure steam boilers are commonly found in multi-unit residential, commercial, institutional and small industrial applications for space and process water heating. As a group, their performance is the least well documented among all the heating plant technologies. Reports on efficiency measurements of nine steam boilers based on two methods - a modified benchmark method based on ANSI standards and a simplified method that is appropriate for low-pressure steam boilers. Supplies and discusses the results. States the findings indicate the need for optimising boiler control and boiler sizing, and for investigating the efficiency of the several types of available replacement boilers. Includes recommendations for standardising the efficiency measurement methods used in the study.KEYWORDS: Boilers, measuring, efficiency, steam boilers, low pressure, space heating, hot water supply, domestic, commercial, industrial, USA, testing, site testing, controls, sizing.
