3.5.5 Flue gas temperature
The flue gas temperature is the temperature measured
inside the flue pipe, specifically at the boiler flue outlet.
It depends on the boiler load and the system
temperature ( Fig. 21 to Fig. 23). The minimum
possible flue gas temperature should generally be used
to calculate the chimney size. This will be approx. 7.5 K
below the specified flue gas temperature, relative to an
average boiler water temperature of 70 °C.
Change in the flue gas temperature
The flue gas temperature depends on the average boiler
water temperature. The flue gas temperatures in the
graphs in Fig. 21 to Fig. 23 are relative to a temperature
pair of 80/60 °C in accordance with EN 303, i.e. the
average boiler temperature is 70 °C (for conversion to
other temperature pairs Tab. 19).
Example
•Given
–UNIMAT UT-L boiler
– Rated output Q
K
= 6000 kW
– System temperatures 100/80 °C
•Check
– Change of 15 K in the flue gas temperature
( Tab. 19)
– Flue gas temperature read off ϑ
A
= 198 °C
( Fig. 21)
•Result
– Flue gas temperature at full boiler load
=198°C+15K=213°C
