I am trying to figure out how much horsepower my homebuilt water tube boiler makes. But all I have found so far is calculations based on one atmosphere.
This boiler, with the steam outlet open to the atmosphere still maintains 40psi. So going from this, when in operation, it will evaporate about 2.5 gallons of water per hour.
Feedwater temp is 70 deg-F

Thanks..
