Dec 02, 2016 · 4. Vertical Fire Tube Boiler Design. As a one-pass boiler design, vertical fire tube boiler has the furnace on the bottom. The tubes run between the upper and lower tube sheets. With this type of design, the furnace may be comprised of masonry or enclosed on its sides with a water-cooled jacket. Wet-Top & Dry-Top Vertical Tube

Fire tube boilers are useful for small demands of steam and water tube boilers are useful for industrial level usage. To cut short the main purpose of boiler is to boil a liquid mostly the water in order to generate the steam for serving the purpose of heating a building or running an equipment through pressurized steam or pressurized water.

Jun 05, 2018 · Comparison between Fire Tube and Water Tube Boiler can be done in 14 aspects. Those aspects are operating pressure, passage of material type in tubes, rate of steam generation, handling of load fluctuation, floor area requirement, efficiency, operator skills, design, maintenance cost are listed below in the tabular form.

Boiler Types and Classifications. There are two general types of boilers: ''fire-tube'' and ''water-tube''. Boilers are classified as "high-pressure" or "low-pressure" and "steam boiler" or "hot water boiler." Boilers that operate higher than 15 psig are called "high-pressure" boilers.

The Johnston boiler is a steam or hot water packaged firetube boiler, ranging in size from 50 to 2,500 horsepower, 15# to 350# design pressure, 3 or 4 pass, of welded steel construction with submerged rear combustion chamber.

This depends on the material used in the boiler shell & firebox. Most small loco boilers are made of copper and for these boilers the best stay material is also copper. This is to avoid wasting away in the water space due to electrolysis. This action takes place when dissimilar metals are in contact and submerged in the boiler water.

A fire-tube boiler is a type of boiler in which hot gases pass from a fire through one or more tubes running through a sealed container of water. The heat of the gases is transferred through the walls of the tubes by thermal conduction, heating the water and ultimately creating steam. The fire-tube boiler developed as the third of the four major historical types of boilers: low-pressure tank or "haystack" boilers, flued boilers with one or two large flues, fire-tube boilers with many small tubes

These fire tubes are conected to a burner at one end, which delivers a 2.5m long flame with 750mm in diam, 1.6E6 Kcal/h and which has 2000°C at its hotest point (inside feather). For protecting the fire tubes from the flame there is another inside tube (length= 3m) made of Incoloy or Inconel. I'm wondering why do they use this material??

In a steam engine, the firebox is the area where the fuel is burned, producing heat to boil the water in the boiler.Most are somewhat box-shaped, hence the name. The hot gases generated in the firebox are pulled through a rack of tubes running through the boiler.

Fire-Tube Boiler (~1800) The fire tube boiler, the oldest design, is made so the products of combustion pass through tubes surrounded by water in a shell. The furnace/flame volume can either be inside or external to the shell that contains the water. The upper steam capacity of fire tube boilers is about 20,000 Ibm/hr, and the peak pressure

In the water tube boiler, the water and steam flow inside the tubes and the hot gases flow over the outside surfaces. Where as in fire tube boilers hot gases from combustion travels through the tubes. flue gases produced from furnace where fuel is burnt.

The main feature of the boiler is that the furnace of the boiler is surrounded by water and therefore there is no requirement of refractory material. It is a single phase pass boiler, which means that the hot gases pass just through the horizontal tube stack before going to the exhaust.
