Boilers - General information wanted

(OP)
What might a 15000 lb/hr 15psi oil/gas burner boiler cost? new,used
What might a 15000 lb/hr 150psi oil/gas burner boiler cost? new used
What would super heat tubes add to the cost.  I am novice, so general answers would be fine.

RE: Boilers - General information wanted

Your question apprears to be incomplete. Pl specify the boiler capacity and burner capcity required. For S.H.C cals have to be carried out for that.

RE: Boilers - General information wanted

Scott,

Boilers are rated and sold using an old/strange rating called "boiler horsepower"

A 15,000 lb/hr boiler is about 450-500 "boiler horsepower" and the general cost for firetube boilers in this range is approximately $245/bhp.......

So, I would say a new unit of this size would cost (450)(245)= $101,250 (plus or minus 15%)

You can easily add 50% to this cost with special low NOX burners/stacks/and CEMS equipment.

You should be able to find a used boiler for about 60% of this cost....

See:  www.wabashpower.com/500hp.html
(many other used equipment vendors on the internet....)

Watertube boilers cost more and last longer..

Just my thoughts and opinions....
