Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If an accounting method at enterprise level is used, then total greenhouse gas emission can be determined, but accurate quantitative method for boiler products and devices cannot be obtained
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the carbon emission calculation into distinct components: direct carbon emission from fuel combustion and indirect carbon emission from auxiliary equipment. This segmentation allows accurate quantification of boiler-specific emissions while maintaining a structured, manageable calculation framework that can be integrated with existing thermal performance tests.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent develops a universal calculation method that can be applied to different boiler types and operating conditions. The method integrates with existing boiler thermal performance test protocols, enabling the same test framework to simultaneously determine both thermal efficiency and carbon emission characteristics across various boiler configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If no quantitative method exists for boiler carbon emission, then existing thermal performance test can be maintained, but carbon emission performance comparison between products becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges carbon emission measurement with existing boiler thermal performance test protocols. By combining the determination of thermal efficiency parameters with carbon emission quantification, the method enables simultaneous acquisition of both performance and emission data, facilitating product comparison without requiring separate testing procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where carbon emission data from the test is used to calculate emission intensity per unit output heat. This feedback allows for the evaluation and comparison of different boiler products based on their actual emission performance, providing actionable information for improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions.

AI summary
A method for calculating carbon emission of a boiler is provided. First, a test boundary and emission sources are determined, and the emission sources in the test boundary are divided into direct carbon emission sources and indirect carbon emission sources. Then, combined with a boiler thermal performance test, the carbon emission of each emission source is tested and calculated, so as to obtain a total carbon emission of the boiler per hour in a test period. Finally, a carbon emission intensity of the boiler per unit output heat is calculated according to the total carbon emission of the boiler per hour in the test period. Different test boundaries and emission sources are fully considered, so that quantification requirements of carbon emission of different boiler systems can be met, and meanwhile, the accurate quantification of carbon emission of a boiler is realized.
