<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi building sim list -</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the never ending quest for the right answer,
what is the list consensus on the best manner in which to measure overall
(seasonal) efficiency of an old low-pressure steam boiler in place?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Clearly a pure combustion test bears little
relation to the actual fuel consumed as it does not account for stack loss,
purge loss, skin losses etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone read or tried anything that can give some
good methodology for obtaining reasonable numbers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
