Boiler Blowdown Calculator
Calculate boiler blowdown rate, water and heat loss, and cost savings. Optimize your boiler’s efficiency and reduce energy costs with proper blowdown management.
Step 1: Boiler Operating Conditions
Understanding Boiler Blowdown
Blowdown is necessary to control dissolved solids in boiler water. Excessive blowdown wastes water, heat, and chemicals, while insufficient blowdown can cause scaling and corrosion.
Step 2: Water Quality & Blowdown Parameters
About TDS Control
The blowdown rate is determined by the ratio of feedwater TDS to boiler water TDS. Higher TDS in feedwater requires more blowdown to maintain safe boiler water concentration levels.

Blowdown Calculation Formula
Blowdown % = (Feedwater TDS / (Boiler Water TDS – Feedwater TDS)) × 100
The blowdown rate is calculated based on the concentration of dissolved solids. Proper blowdown control optimizes boiler efficiency while preventing scale formation and corrosion.
