PNG burners replacement with Induction stoves

[vij36]

Hi All,

We are planning to replace PNG fired burners with induction stoves. Some burners of type T70.

What is the criteria for one to one replacement of a PNG fired burner with an induction stove ?

Do i need to find the BTU output of T70 burner and then equate that BTU to an induction stove kW (while considering their efficiencies) ?

We have done some preliminary calculations of efficiencies of PNG fired burner and an induction stove. The farmer having 45% and latter found to be 75% to 80%

is it the correct process ?

kindly suggest.

Thanks,

Dear Sirs,

any advice please ...

Please vet this approach below >>

A T78 burner specs:
Length 100 mm, dia 117 mm, working pressure 4.5 psig, gas consumption 3/550 kg/hr, rated heat output 40,250 kcal, inlet 3/8 inch.
So if i equate this 40,250 kcal to kW then it comes to 46.82 kW.

A PNG burner has approx. 40% efficiency.
40% useful energy of a burner is 16,100 kcal (40% of 40,250).

To achieve this kcal with 80% efficient induction stove 20% is added.
16,100 plus 3220 kcal. Total 19,320 kcal.

In kW it is 22.5 kW. So i need 22.5 kW induction stove for replacing a T78 PNG burner.

Is this approach ok ?

Kindly advice
