Boiler operation

[AKVS24]

Can a 10 TPH rated capacity boiler operate at a load of 2 TPH?

Sure - maybe.

Need a lot more information than what was given to answer any deeper than that.

It is a heck of a step down, however, vary your firing rate and see what happens.

I know that for the last two decades, burners have impressive turndown ratios to modulate their steam ouput, so in your case a turndown ratio of five is within technology.

Maybe, Sure

We don't need any more information than you have already given us....

This would be 5:1 turndown...

Try to do just a little bit more of an investigation by yourself before you ask for advice from others...

Everyone seems to be assuming that the OP isn't shoveling coal into this boiler.
