lower heating value

In such applications, the lower heating value must be used to give a 'benchmark' for the process.

Unless stated otherwise the lower heating value is used in the remainder of this text.

Some examples of lower heating values for vehicle fuels are:

Some may exceed 100% based on the lower heating value by condensing the flue gas as well.

Many engine manufacturers rate their engine fuel consumption by the lower heating values.

The amounts for fuel are given in million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) based on lower heating value.

The lower heating value of natural gas is normally about 90 percent of its higher heating val.

This assumption is implicit when basing calculations on the Lower Heating Value.

The total efficiencies of cogeneration incinerators are typically higher than 80% (based on the lower heating value of the waste).

Regulated AC net/lower heating value of fuel.

Flue gas condensation may cause the heat recovered to exceed the Lower Heating Value of the input fuel, and thus an efficiency greater than 100%.

Sub-bituminous coal is cheaper than bituminous coal because it has a lower heating value and typically has a higher ash content.

Syngas that is not methanized typically has a lower heating value of 120 BTU/scf .

In general in service Combined Cycle efficiencies are over 50 percent on a lower heating value and Gross Output basis.

CSG is about 98 percent methane and consequently drier with a lower heating value than conventional LNG.

Henry Hub [gas] has a lower heating value, so there's still questions in our mind as to how much the US can feed into Japanese markets.

When the lower heating value (LHV) is determined, cooling is stopped at 150 C and the reaction heat is only partially recovered.

This is because the apparatus recovers part of the heat of vaporization, which is not included in the definition of the lower heating value of fuel.

For gasoline and diesel the higher heating value exceeds the lower heating value by about 10% and 7% respectively, and for natural gas about 11%.

Because of the lower heating value of biodiesel, more biodiesel should be burned to produce the equivalent energy of ULSD.

Torrefaction combined with densification leads to a very energy-dense fuel carrier of 20 to 21 GJ/ton lower heating value (LHV).

The average thermal efficiency for pulverised coal power plants in OECD countries was about 36% LHV (lower heating value) in 1991.

When considering engine efficiency one should consider whether this is based on the lower heating value (LCV) or higher heating value (HCV) of the gas.

Lower heating value (LHV) (or net calorific value) is determined by subtracting the heat of vaporization of the water vapor from the higher heating value.

The above is but one definition of lower heating value adopted by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and uses a reference temperature of 60 F (15.56 C).
