The fuel saving depends on the fuel used by the industry
For simplicity we divide fuel into 3 group
High Cost fuel
HSD, PNG / CNG, Electricity
They have a consistent quality
Huge and rising price variations
Boiler efficiency 80 to 85%
Replacement of this Fuel with Solar Thermal has pay back of 2 to 3 years
Replacement of this fuel with Heat Pump has a pay back of 1 Year
Hybrid solar & Heat Pump has pay back of about 2 years
Medium Cost Fuel
Furnace Oil, LDO
The quality depends on the sourcing & the quantity purchased at one time.
Huge and rising price variations
Boiler efficiency 70 to 80%
Replacement of this Fuel with Solar Thermal has pay back of 3 to 4 years
Replacement of this fuel with Heat Pump has a pay back of 2 Year
Hybrid solar & Heat Pump has pay back of about 3 years
Low Cost Fuels
Wood, Briquettes, Coal
The Quality is extremely variable depending on the manufacturer, Source of the material, Moisture content & Excipients added
The actual calorific value obtained is about 40% of the theoretical value. Hence actual checking of the consumption of the fuel against the heat generated is essential before concluding the payback.
Boiler efficiency 50 to 60%
Replacement of this Fuel with Solar Thermal has pay back around 5 years
Replacement of this fuel with Heat Pump has a pay back of 3 Year
Hybrid solar & Heat Pump has pay back of about 4 years
