JIMENEZ BORGES, Reinier; MADRIGAL MONZON, José Alejandro; LAPIDO RODRIGUEZ, Margarita Josefa  and  VIDAL MOYA, David Armando. Method for evaluating the efficiency and environmental impact of a steam generation. Energética [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.2, pp. 135-143. ISSN 1815-5901.

This work deals witha methodfor assessingenergy efficiencyand environmental impactof afire tube.Lossesthat occurin the boiler andthe expectedvalues thereofare described. By usingnon-invasiveequipmentasthe ultrasonic imagerflow meterandthegas analyzercombustion,surface temperatureprofileis determined, the flow offeedwaterandthe composition of thecombustion gases, which are necessaryfor calculating theenergy performanceby applyingdirect and indirectconventional assesses methods andexergy evaluationof the boilerirreversibilities.The degree ofover sizinginunderutilized offacilitiesworkingat the timeof the inspection wasestimatedas well asthe environmentalimpact caused bytheoperation of the equipment

Keywords : generator; performance; energy; exergy; environmental impact.
