    This document provides guidelines for sizing steam boilers used for direct steam equipment. It states that 1 boiler horsepower (BHP) produces approximately 34.5 pounds of steam per hour and lists steam output rates for common Blodgett convection steamers and steam kettles. Tables show the steam flow rates in pounds per hour for Blodgett steam boilers at various energy inputs and for direct steam kettles in different size ranges when cooking at medium heat. An example sizing calculation is given for a 40-gallon kettle and 6-pan steamer requiring a total of 122 pounds of steam per hour or a 3.54 BHP boiler.

    STEAM BOILER SIZING GUIDE

    Use this guide when calculating the correct size boiler you will need to power direct steam equipment.
    1 Boiler Horsepower (BHP) = Approximately 33, 475 BTU
    1 Boiler Horsepower (BHP) = Approximately 10 kW
    1 Boiler Horsepower (BHP) = Approximately 34.5 LBS./Hour of steam
    Actual steam output depends upon boiler efficiency.

    As a general rule:
    Blodgett Convection Steamers - require 34.5 LBS./hour of steam at start-up & operation or each steamer requires
    approximately 3/4 BHP per compartment
    Blodgett Steam Kettles - require approximately 1 BHP per 20 gallons to operate at medium heat. Example - 40
    Gals = 2 BHP

    STEAM FLOW RATE OF BLODGETT STEAM BOILERS


    Energy Input Steam Output Lbs/Hour Boiler Horsepower
    200,000 BTU 111 3.7
    24 kW 68 2.2
    36 kW 104 3.5
    48 kW 141 4.7

    STEAM FLOW RATE REQUIREMENTS OF BLODGETT DIRECT STEAM KETTLES (15 PSI AT THE KETTLE)
    Capacity Fast Cook Medium Cook Stock Kettle
    Gallons Litre LBS/HR KGS/HR LBS/HR KGS/HR LBS/HR KGS/HR
    6 23 11 5 9 4 6 3
    10 38 22 10 18 8 11 5
    20 76 44 20 35 16 22 10
    30 114 66 30 53 24 33 15
    40 152 88 40 70 32 44 20
    60 227 132 60 105 48 66 30
    80 303 176 80 140 64 88 40
    100 379 220 100 175 80 110 50

    SIZING EXAMPLE
    Quantity (1) 40 Gallon Direct Steam Kettle (Cooking on medium heat) 70 LBS./HR
    Quantity (1) 6-Pan Convection Steamer (25.9 LBS./HR x 2 Compartments) 52 LBS./HR

    Total Requirement: 122 LBS./HR


    122/34.5 LBS./HR = 3.54 BHP - select boiler accordingly
