Dec 21, 2017 · In engineering applications, there are various types of boilers such as water tube boilers, fire tube boilers, packaged boiler, fluidized bed combustion boiler, pulverized fuel boiler and waste heat boilers. These boilers are used in different industries such as power plants, paper, and chemical. The present paper reports various problems (such as agglomeration, slagging, fouling, caustic Learn More
A Fire boiler is used in small power plants. The maximum working pressure is up to 20 bar which is a less comparatively water tube boiler. Overall efficiency is up to 75% only. Fire Tube Boiler Application: The main application of Fire Tube Boilers is that it is used in …Learn More
A reasonably well-insulated shell or water-tube boiler of 5 MW or more will lose between 0.3 and 0.5% of its energy to the surroundings. This may not appear to be a large amount, but it must be remembered that this is 0.3 to 0.5% of the boiler's full-load rating, and this loss will remain constant, even if the boiler is not exporting steam to Learn More
The general outline of the fire-tube boiler is that it consists of two or more horizontal cylinder furnaces, located at the base of the boiler shell. The burst gases and smoke pass from the furnace to the back of the boiler and return to its small tubes and get worn out of the chimney.Learn More
