    The document presents information about water tube boilers. It discusses that water tube boilers have tubes that carry water and are surrounded by hot gases from fuel combustion. This allows for high steam generation capacity compared to fire tube boilers. The document also categorizes boilers based on their circulation method, operating pressure, portability, number of tubes, and whether the hot gases or water pass through the tubes. Key advantages of water tube boilers are their high steam generation, compact size, and ease of tube replacement.

    Introduction

    Definition of Boiler
     a closed vessel or
    arrangement of vessels and
    tubes, together with a
    furnace or other heat source,
    in which steam or other
    vapor is generated from
    water to drive turbines or
    engines.
    PRINCIPLE OF WORKING

    Boiler is a closed vessel which contain


    water.This water is heated by hot flue
    gases,produced by combustion of fuels.

    These hot gases come in contact with


    water vessel where the heat of these
    gases transfer to the water and
    consequently steam is produce in the
    boiler.
    • Externally fired and internally fired
    • Forced circulation and natural
    circulation
    • High pressure and low pressure boilers
    • Stationery and portable boiler
    • Single tube and multi-tube boilers
    • Fire tube and water tube boiler
    Method of firing

    • The furnace is provided outside/under the


    boiler.
    • This method of firing is used in Babcock and
    Wilcox Boiler.
    • The furnace is provided inside the shell and is
    completely surrounded by water colled
    surfaces.
    • The method is used in Lancashire, Locomotive
    Boilers.
    Based on Circulation
    Natural circulation boilers
    •In which the circulation of water/steam
    is caused by the density difference
    which is due to the temperature
    varitation.
    Forced circulation boilers
     In which circulation of water/steam is caused by a
    pump i.e. externally assisted circulation.
    Low pressure boilers
    •boilers producing steam lower than 80bar.
    e.g. cochran boilers, cornish boiler.

    HIGH PRESSURE BOILER


    •Boilers producing steam of 80bar and above.
    e.g. Babcock and wilcox boiler.
    Based on utility of boiler

    Stationary boiler
    •Such boilers are stationary and are
    extensively used in power plants,
    industrial processes, heating etc.
    portable boiler
    •Such boilers are portable and are of
    small size. e.g. locomotive boilers.
    Based on no.of tubes
    Single tube boiler
    If single tube is used to pass hot gases
    then it is single tube boiler.
    e.g cornish
    MULTI TUBE BOILER
    If many of tubes are used to pass hot
    gases then it is multi tube boiler.
    e.g. lancashire boiler
    • The hot gases pass through the tubes
    that are surrounded by water.
     Lancashire boiler
     Locomotive boiler
    WATER TUBE BOILER

    • The water passes through the tubes and


    hot gases produced by combustion of
    fuel, flow outside. E.g. Babcock wilcox
    boiler.
    Advantages
    Steam generation capacity is high. It is
    about 2000 to 40000 kg/hr.
    It occupies less space.
    Replacement of defective tubes is easy.
    It isthe only boiler that is used to generate
    large quantity of heat in power station.
    Inspection of these types of boiler can be
    done anytime during its working.
    Boilers are classified into fire tube or
    water tube boilers depending on
    whether the heat source is inside or
    outside the tubes.
    The goal in both cases is to maximize
    the heat transfer between the water and
    the hot gases heating it.
