 BOILER
6 WHAT IS BOILER?
It is a closed Vessel in which the heat
produced by the combustion of fuel is
transferred to water for its conversion into
steam at the desired temperature and
pressure.
At atmospheric pressure water volume
increases 1,600 times

Schematic diagram of boiler

Types of Boilers
Horizontal and Vertical boiler
Fire tube and water tube Boiler
Externally and Internally fired boiler
Forced and Natural Circulation boiler
High,Medium and Low pressure boiler
Stationary and Portable boiler
Single and Multi tube boiler
 VERTICAL BOILER

If the axis of the boiler is vertical it is called vertical

boiler. e.g.:- Cochran boiler
 HORIZONTAL BOILER

If the axis of the boiler is horizontal ,It is called the

Horizontal boiler.
e.g. :- Lancashire boiler ,Locomotive boiler.
 FIRE TUBE BOILER

The boiler in which the hot gases are inside the tubes
and water surrounding the tubes is called fire tube
boiler.
e.g. : Lancashire boiler, Locomotive boiler.
WATER TUBE BOILER
The boiler in which
the water is inside
the tube and the hot
gases surround them
is called water tube
boiler.
e.g.:-Babcock and
Wilcox BoilerO
Externally fired and Internally
fired tube Boilers.

 Advantages of Boilers

In thermal power plants

Textile industries for sizing and bleading etc.
Sugar mills
Chemical industries
 °isadvantages of Boilers
Weight is bulky.
Need of hard foundation.
It need more maintanance.(because of high
temperature).
