UN 5 ton steam boiler typically costs between USD 25,000 et USD 60,000, selon le type de carburant, configuration, niveau de pression, automation, et certification.
Dans ce guide, we compare the equipment price, consommation de carburant, operating cost, and application suitability of gas, charbon, and biomass steam boilers to help you choose the most cost-effective solution.
1. Qu'est-ce qu'un 5 chaudière à vapeur d'une tonne?
UN 5 ton steam boiler produces 5 tonnes (5000 kilos) de vapeur par heure. It is widely used in medium-scale factories such as textile plants, food processing factories, industries chimiques, heating projects, mining operations, and industrial parks.
This capacity is popular because it offers a good balance between investment cost and production capacity.
2. 5 ton steam boiler equipment price comparison
| Type de chaudière | Carburant | Estimated Equipment Price |
|---|---|---|
| Gas-fired steam boiler | Natural gas / GPL | USD 35,000 – 60,000 |
| Coal-fired steam boiler | Charbon | USD 25,000 – 45,000 |
| Biomass steam boiler | Biomass pellets / copeaux de bois | USD 30,000 – 55,000 |
Note: Prices are for boiler equipment only and do not include installation, travaux de génie civil, système de traitement de l'eau, or freight.
3. Fuel consumption of a 5 chaudière à vapeur d'une tonne
| Type de chaudière | Fuel Consumption per Hour | Fuel Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Gas steam boiler | 350 – 380 | Nm³ of natural gas |
| Coal steam boiler | 700 – 900 | kg of coal |
| Biomass steam boiler | 1000 – 1300 | kg of biomass fuel |
Actual fuel consumption depends on boiler efficiency, steam pressure, and fuel quality.
4. Operating cost comparison (example)
Assumption:
- Gas price: USD 0.30 / Nm³
- Coal price: USD 0.10 / kilos
- Biomass price: USD 0.06 / kilos
| Type de chaudière | Fuel Cost per Hour | Remarques |
|---|---|---|
| Gas boiler | USD 105 – 114 | Low labor cost |
| Coal boiler | USD 70 – 90 | Higher labor & manipulation des cendres |
| Chaudière à biomasse | USD 60 – 78 | Renewable fuel |
Fuel cost usually accounts for more than 80% du coût total d'exploitation de la chaudière, making fuel choice critical.
5. Gas vs coal vs biomass: which is better?
Gas-fired steam boiler
- High automation and clean combustion
- Low labor and maintenance cost
- Best for food, textile, pharmaceutical industries
Coal-fired steam boiler
- Lower equipment and fuel cost
- Suitable for mining and heavy industry
- Requires more labor and environmental control
Biomass steam boiler
- Renewable energy and low fuel cost
- Good option where biomass fuel is available
- Popular in Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa
