2. Boiler design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_design

   Boiler design is the process of designing boilers used for various purposes. The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilisation, drying, humidification and power generation. The temperature or condition of steam required for ...

3. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   An industrial boiler, ... A similar design with natural induction used for marine purposes was the popular Scotch marine boiler. ... Diagram of a water-tube boiler.

4. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

   Such watertube boilers in thermal power stations are also called steam generating units. The older fire-tube boiler design, in which the water surrounds the heat source and gases from combustion pass through tubes within the water space, is typically a much weaker structure and is rarely used for pressures above 2.4 MPa (350 psi). A significant ...

5. Fire-tube boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-tube_boiler

   Modern industrial boilers use fans to provide forced or induced draughting of the boiler. Another major advance in the Rocket was large numbers of small-diameter firetubes (a multi-tubular boiler) instead of a single large flue. This greatly increased the surface area for heat transfer, allowing steam to be produced at a much higher rate.

6. Industrial furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_furnace

   Schematic diagram of an industrial process furnace. Fuel flows into the burner and is burnt with air provided from an air blower. There can be more than one burner in a particular furnace which can be arranged in cells which heat a particular set of tubes. Burners can also be floor mounted, wall mounted or roof mounted depending on design.

7. Flash boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_boiler

   A flash boiler is a type of water-tube boiler. The tubes are close together and water is pumped through them. A flash boiler differs from the type of monotube steam generator in which the tube is permanently filled with water. In a flash boiler, the tube is kept so hot that the water feed is quickly flashed into steam and superheated.

8. Package boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_boiler

   A package boiler is a factory-made boiler. Package boilers are available in a range of standard designs. Package boilers are used for heating and act as a steam generator for small power purposes such as self-powered industrial plants. Package boilers are low pressure designs. A low pressure means low temperature water in the heat exchanger.

9. Scotch marine boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_marine_boiler

   A "Scotch" marine boiler (or simply Scotch boiler) is a design of steam boiler best known for its use on ships. Sectional diagram of a "wet back" boiler. The general layout is that of a squat horizontal cylinder. One or more large cylindrical furnaces are in the lower part of the boiler shell. Above this are many small-diameter fire-tubes ...
