Last night I hooked up my electrical data logger and my temperature data logger to my new effecta lambda 35 kw boiler.

I have attached the results of the KW consumption study to this post and will try to have the temperature results posted shortly.

I was very impressed that the entire boiler (110V/60 hz. fan motor, 110V/60 hz. circulation pump set to high speed, 110V/60 hz. motherboard/controller and 24V dc stepper motors) consumed a total of 200 watts. Doing some quick math thats 200 watts x 6 hour burn = 1200 total watts. At 10 cents per kW thats 12 cents for the entire 6 hour burn.

Looking forward to posting the temperature data logging results shortly!!!!

12 cents sounds kind of steep there Brian, lol. You are way beyond me tech wise, I look forward to seeing the results. What does flue gas temp typically run? Randy
 
Pretty good. 145 watts for my Tarm (110V/60 hz. fan motor, 110V/60 hz. 15-58 circulation pump set to medium speed, 4 - 110V/60 hz. controllers, 1 added relay). Medium is the normal speed I use, so it didn't make any sense to measure high speed. I added 3 controllers because my system is not as integrated as yours.
