Frequently Asked Questions
What is the hourly fuel consumption for a 6 Ton Diesel boiler?
At full load, the boiler consumes approximately 380 to 410 Liters of HSD (Diesel) per hour, depending on the feedwater temperature and burner efficiency.
What is the thermal efficiency of the 6 TPH unit?
Our Diesel-fired boilers achieve a thermal efficiency of 88% to 90%, which can be increased to 95% with the integration of an Indian Boilers' sensible heat recovery unit (Economizer).
Can this boiler run on fuels other than Diesel?
Yes. By installing a Multi-Fuel Burner, the unit can be configured to run on LDO (Light Diesel Oil) or even converted to PNG/LPG if gas becomes available at your site.
How does the boiler handle high-volume steam demand?
The 6 Ton unit features a Large Shell Diameter and a high water-holding capacity, which acts as a thermal buffer to maintain stable pressure during sudden industrial load spikes.
Is this 6 Ton boiler IBR compliant?
Yes, all our 6 TPH units are fully IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations) certified, ensuring they meet the highest national safety and quality standards.
What is the advantage of the 3-Pass Wet Back design?
This design forces hot gases to pass through the water three times for maximum heat absorption. The "Wet Back" feature replaces fragile rear refractories with water-cooled walls, reducing maintenance and increasing heat surface area.
What grade of steel is used for construction?
The boiler shell and tube sheets are manufactured from IBR-approved SA 515/516 Gr. 70 boiler-quality plates, and the tubes are high-grade BS 3059 / SA 192 seamless carbon steel.
What is the standard working pressure?
Standard designs are available for 10.54 Kg/cm² and 17.5 Kg/cm². Custom high-pressure units can be engineered upon request.
What burner technology is utilized?
We equip the 6 Ton range with premium Modulating Burners from brands like ELCO (Germany) or Riello (Italy) for precise fuel metering and high turndown ratios.
Is the 6 Ton boiler operation fully automated?
Yes, it features a sophisticated PLC-based HMI Control Panel that automates the firing sequence, water level regulation, and safety shutdowns.
What safety interlocks are provided?
Standard safety features include dual IBR safety valves, low water cut-off (LWCO), flame failure detection, air pressure switches, and high steam pressure cut-offs.
Can this boiler be integrated into a SCADA system?
Yes, our control panels are equipped for BMS/SCADA integration, allowing for remote monitoring and data logging of all boiler parameters.
Does it include an automatic blowdown system?
We offer an optional Automatic TDS-based Blowdown system to maintain water quality and prevent scale buildup without manual intervention.
What is the electrical connected load?
For a 6 TPH unit, the total connected load (including the large burner blower and high-capacity feed pumps) is approximately 25 HP to 30 HP.
What is the footprint of a 6 Ton Diesel boiler?
While it is a high-capacity unit, our horizontal design is optimized to be as compact as possible. We provide a detailed general arrangement (GA) drawing to assist in your boiler house layout.
Is it available as a skid-mounted package?
Yes, for faster installation, we provide complete skid-mounted solutions where the boiler and primary accessories are pre-installed on a heavy-duty steel frame.
How easy is it to clean the internal tubes?
The boiler features large hinged doors on both the front and rear, providing complete access for mechanical tube cleaning and IBR inspections.
What kind of chimney is required for a 6 Ton unit?
As per environmental norms, a 30-meter high chimney is typically required for a 6 TPH Diesel boiler to ensure proper emission dispersion.
Do you provide maintenance services in Ahmedabad?
Yes, our Ahmedabad-based headquarters provides nationwide support, including genuine spare parts, annual maintenance contracts (AMC), and IBR renewal assistance.
