Boiler efficiency is calculated by determining the steam value per hour and dividing it by the amount of fuel which is consumed per hour. By doing this one can determine the efficiency of a boiler.
we can increase boiler efficiency by recovering the heat which is being carried by flue gases.by incorporating different things like Economizer, Air pre-heater , Super-heater and feed-water heater, we can there ll be notable increase in efficiency of boiler.

This question can't be answered. It is unclear what you mean by back pressure. Maximum Allowable Working Pressure in a boiler is calculated using the rules for construction of high pressure boilers and construction of heating boilers in the ASME Code sections 1 and 8.
A new boiler will cost about $3000 for a standard efficiency model, but for a more efficient boiler it can run up to $8000 plus. It is important to have a contractor size up your system. If you buy a more efficient system the boiler will not need to be the same size as your old boiler unit. Keep in mind that you location and seasonal demand will affect the price as well. If a contractor is super busy they will likely charge more since they have plenty of jobs lined up in the future.
boiler efficiency is how much water is converting to steam.
Pump efficiency can not be taken as given.

The economizer is used to raise feedwater temperature up to nearly the temperature of the boiler to avoid thermal shock and improve the boiler's efficiency. Every 11 degrees Fahrenheit increase in feedwater temperature yields a 1% increase in boiler efficiency.

An economizer is used to heat boiler feedwater up closer to the temperature of the boiler water, using heat from the boiler exhaust gases, heat that would otherwise be wasted. The main reason is to improve the efficiency of the boiler. For every 44 degree F drop in exhaust gas temp. there is an 11 F rise in feedwater temperature and a 1% gain in boiler efficiency.
Greatest efficiency at that temperature.

The efficiency is output divided by input.
