  3. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

    A high pressure watertube boiler [1] (also spelled water-tube and water tube) is a type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by fire. Fuel is burned inside the furnace , creating hot gas which boils water in the steam-generating tubes.

  4. Pulverized coal-fired boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulverized_coal-fired_boiler

    The raw coal is then fed into the pulverizer along with air heated to about 650 °F (340 °C) from the boiler. As the coal gets crushed by the rolling action, the hot air dries it and blows out the usable fine coal powder to be used as fuel. The powdered coal from the pulverizer is directly blown to a burner in the boiler.

  5. Air preheater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_preheater

    The third sector is the smallest one and it heats air which is routed into the pulverizers and used to carry the coal-air mixture to coal boiler burners. Thus, the total air heated in the RAPH provides: heating air to remove the moisture from the pulverised coal dust, carrier air for transporting the pulverised coal to the boiler burners and ...

  8. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

    By comparison, most modern "warm air" furnaces typically use a fan to circulate air to the rooms of house and pull cooler air back to the furnace for reheating; this is called forced-air heat. Because the fan easily overcomes the resistance of the ductwork, the arrangement of ducts can be far more flexible than the octopus of old. In American ...

  9. Hydronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronics

    The air exits the system through the air-venting valves on the radiators and on the steam pipes themselves. The thermostatic valves close when they become hot; in the most common kind, the vapor pressure of a small amount of alcohol in the valve exerts the force to actuate the valve and prevent steam from leaving the radiator.
