When selecting an industrial boiler, unit conversion is only the starting point. More importantly, you need to know what this conversion result means for your production process, boiler size selection, and purchasing decision.

In boiler specifications, "ton" (t/h) does not refer to weight. It signifies steam production capacity—the tons of steam generated per hour under rated conditions. For instance, a 1 t/h boiler produces 1 ton of steam hourly.

Standard Conversion from Ton/Hr to kW

Regarding the power unit, the well-known one usually uses more kw.

Under standard conditions,1 t/h ≈ 751.88 kW.

In practice, it is commonly rounded to 750 kW.

This conversion is your key to precise sizing:

 Steam Demand (t/h) → determines the boiler size.

 Heat Demand (kW) → determines fuel input, efficiency, and operating costs.

The table below helps you quickly convert steam capacity into approximate power output:

Food Industry Case Study – MCS Coca-Cola Mongolia

With plans to expand into new beverage categories such as iced tea and fruit juice, MCS Coca-Cola required a highly efficient and exceptionally stable steam supply to support its production lines. These products place strict demands on temperature control, making boiler stability a decisive factor in ensuring consistent taste, safety, and overall product quality.

ZOZEN 8 ton WNS series gas-fired steam boiler

After evaluating production requirements, three 8 ton WNS series gas-fired steam boilers were installed and commissioned. In actual operation, the boilers have demonstrated outstanding performance. The advanced burner atomizes fuel thoroughly, allowing complete combustion within the corrugated furnace, while the three-pass fire-tube design maximizes heat absorption and utilization. This configuration significantly improves thermal efficiency up to 98% and reduces overall fuel consumption, supporting cost-effective operation.

In addition, the boilers are equipped with an intelligent control system that precisely regulates operating parameters. Real-time monitoring devices track water level and pressure around the clock, ensuring safe, stable, and uninterrupted operation. This level of automation minimizes operational risk and provides the reliable steam conditions required for continuous beverage production.

From Conversion Result to a Practical Boiler Solution

Understanding the formula is useful—but applying it correctly is what saves investment and operating cost.

When choosing a boiler, you should evaluate:

1.Thermal Efficiency: Higher efficiency directly lowers fuel costs for the same kW output.

 2.Fuel Availability: Choose from gas, biomass, coal, or oil based on local supply and cost-impacting system design.

 3.Steam Parameters: Define required pressure and temperature, as these dictate boiler construction and safety design.
