Merits and Demerits of Direct Method
Merits
. Plant people can evaluate quickly the efficiency of boilers
. Requires few parameters for computation
. Needs few instruments for monitoring
Demerits
. Does not give clues to the operator as to why efficiency of system is lower
. Does not calculate various losses accountable for various efficiency levels
. Evaporation ratio and efficiency may mislead, if the steam is highly wet due to water
