Long-term reliability
B&W maintains the same cornerstone
company values as we did in 1867 when
the rst B&W water-tube steam boiler
was patented. These values include a
commitment to excellence, outstanding
customer service, quality and continu-
ous improvement, integrity, technology
leadership and a global outlook. Based
on these values, B&W builds equipment
that is designed to last. In fact, many
1950 vintage B&W package boilers are
still in use today.
Fast load response
B&Ws 2
1
2" tubes are spaced 1" apart.
This provides a larger volume of water
in our furnace walls and contributes
to a faster load response. In addition,
our uniquely designed drum internals
can handle varying loads without
circulation disruptions or carryover.
Connections for lower drum heating
coils also are standard.
Low O&M costs
The B&W package boiler drives main-
tenance to a minimum with:
~No reliance on refractory seals
~Positive circulation, 100%
water-cooled rear wall
~Bricks on oor for long-term
protection
~A fully drainable and 100%
convection superheater
~Galvanized, primed and enamel-
painted exterior lagging
~Hinged drum manways for better
waterside access
Controlled emissions
B&W has its own staff of combustion
design engineers and works with outside
burner suppliers to meet your stringent
requirements. Our furnace has more
water-cooled surface, thereby helping to
meet todays tough NO
x limits.

Proven D-type construction,
which has separate boiler and furnace
sections, creates proper geometry
of the burning chamber. As a result,
combustion efciency is increased and
the following benets are added:
'Furnace wall water cooling includes
not only the side walls, roof and oor,
but the high-duty rear wall as well
eliminating refractory and its attendant
maintenance. This unique boiler
feature locates total water cooling
where it can contribute most to keeping
maintenance costs down, and each
rear wall tube is a single ow path
between drums to assure proper
circulation and cooling.
^Gas -tight setting membrane pro-
vides the gas-tight setting absolutely
necessary on all package boilers. This
construction eliminates dew-point
sulfur corrosion and outages caused
by gas leaks. B&Ws membrane panels
use large diameter tubes and small
membrane spacing, which provides the
best combination of heat transfer
efciency and maintenance accessibility.
Scalloped seal plates (illustrated in
2-A) on the membrane design also
provide a continuous gas-tight seal
between the tube membrane and
drums. Where inner-cased construction
is used, a 10-gauge plate is welded to
the tie bars, instead of directly to the
pressure parts (shown in 2-B). To
maintain casing above the dew point
temperature, the plate is formed
around the tie bar to ensure close
plate-to-tube contact.
Rugged steel -base f rame supports
the entire boiler, and allows jacking
and skidding of the boiler. A concrete
slab with no special saddle, supports
or piers is all that is needed for the
package boiler. To ease installation
and relocation, B&Ws frame has
built-in lifting lugs and jacking pads.
Outer steel lagging is galvanized,
primed and painted, making it weather-
tight for outdoor installations. The
12-gauge roof casing also provides a
surface strong enough to walk on.
IDrum internals provide high steam
purity and ensure positive circulation.
There are two primary steam separators
to choose from a bafe-type for 3 ppm
solids or an optional cyclone-type for
1 ppm solids. Both designs incorporate
corrugated-type secondary scrubbers.
Dry pipe steam separation also is
available for
1
2% moisture steam.
IWater wash troughs and drains are
standard on every new package boiler.
IGrooved tube seats with polished
tube ends provide maximum protection
during initial handling and transporta-
tion, as well as against leakage through-
out the units life. B&Ws tube seats
provide more holding power and
seal integrity.
ISootblowers are properly located
for effective convection bank cleaning.
Sootblower bearings, wallbox(es) and
tube openings are standard on all
package boilers, regardless of fuels
red. An additional B&W boiler
feature is that the alternating front-
to-rear bank spacing allows removal
of any tube if necessary (illustrated
in 8-A).
^Front wall re brick is designed for
expansion and protection of the front
corner seals, and the front wall tile is
anchored by a oating alloy retainer.
To protect the corner seals, the front
wall of the membrane unit is set inside
furnace D tubes (illustrated in 9-A).
1Thermal sleeve connections for
lower drum heating coils are standard.
Heating coils can reduce the time from
light-off to full load by several hours.

Even when load changes are wide or frequent
enough to affect water level in the drum, positive
circulation is assured with B&W drum internals.
As hot furnace ue gas crosses the rst row of
tubes in the boiler bank, a considerable amount
of steam is generated. This quantity is substantially
greater on higher-capacity units for essentially
the same drum length, imposing a tremendous
burden on drum internals.
B&W separation equipment is specically
designed to effectively handle this rapid, intense
generation of steam. Diffuser bafes direct
portions of the steam to less turbulent zones of
the drum, making use of the entire length of
scrubbing elements to remove unwanted
moisture droplets.
Superheater tube f ailures eliminated
When superheaters or special processes require
it, steam with less than one ppm solids can be
obtained. Turbine blades are kept cleaner, and
costly superheater tube failures are eliminated. An
equally important feature designed into B&Ws
drum internals is the supply of bubble-free solid
water back to the downcomer circuits for positive
circulation. The drum internals design also
allows free end ow to minimize turbulence and
end-to-end level uctuation.

Economizers, superheaters, burners
and controls are available from B&W
for package boilers in accordance with
operating and economic design con-
siderations. Additional accessory
equipment, including a forced draft
fan and drive, a junction piece, ues
and ducts, stacks, feedwater pumps,
deaerator, and an oil pump and
heater set can be ordered to simplify
planning and engineering.
Economizers
increase efciency
Economizers are available for
increased efciency. Pre -engineered
arrangements of extended surface
or bare-tube economizers are offered
to meet varying fuel, space and
economic considerations.
Fully drainable superheaters
Proven, dependable and fully drain-
able superheatersespecially designed
for package boilers also are an avail-
able accessory. The vertical-tube design
provides positive bottom support and
excellent expansion characteristics.
Multi-pass steam ow ensures high
steam velocities and good distribution
of uid throughout, effectively cooling
each tube. Because it is positioned out
of the full radiant heat zone, it has a
convective -radiant temperature char-
acteristic for a relatively constant
superheater steam temperature over
the load range. For further conve-
nience, the steam outlet is located
near oor level. To protect the thicker
wall drums in the superheater area,
refractory drum protection is provided.
