Definition of Boilers
Boiler
Vessel that heats water to become hot water or steam At atmospheric pressure water volume increases 1,600 times Hot water or steam used to transfer heat to a process

Types of Boilers

Boilers based on Firing

1. Fire Tube Boiler is

Relatively small steam capacities (12,000 kg/hour) Low to medium steam pressures (18 kg/cm2) Operates with oil, gas or solid fuels

(Light Rail Transit Association)

Type of Boilers
2. Water Tube Boiler is
Used for high steam demand and pressure requirements
Capacity range of 4,500 120,000 kg/hour Combustion efficiency enhanced by induced draft provisions

(Your Dictionary.com)

Lower tolerance for water quality and needs water treatment plant

Assessment of a Boiler Heat Balance

Balancing total energy entering a boiler against the energy that leaves the boiler in different forms
12.7 % 8.1 % Heat loss due to dry flue gas Heat loss due to steam in flue gas Heat loss due to moisture in fuel Heat loss due to moisture in air Heat loss due to un-burnts in residue Heat loss due to radiation & other unaccounted loss

100.0 % BOILER Fuel

1.7 % 0.3 % 2.4 % 1.0 %

73.8 %

Heat in Steam

Mountings and Accessories

Fitting and devices which are necessary for the safety and control are knows as

boiler mountings
Fitting or devices which are provided to increase the efficiency of the boiler and help in the smooth working of the plant are knows as boiler accessories

Fittings - Safety
Water level indicators Safety valves Combined high steam and low water safety valve Fusible plug

Fittings - Control
Pressure gauge Junction or stop valve Feed check valve Blow-off cock Man hole and Mud Box
