The boiler will re-fire if the boiler water temperature drops below a range around the high limit. The high limit exists for the sake of efficiency and safety. The boiler will also fire (regardless of thermostat state) when the boiler water temperature goes below a range around the low limit, ensuring that the boiler water temperature remains ...
If high pressure steam is needed, such as for steam turbines, then a water-tube boiler may be preferred and these are mostly O-type. O-type package boilers appeared post-World War II, with the general shift away from coal and to more automated boilers needing fewer human operators. [3] O-type boilers are available with or without end water-walls.
Diagram of a water-tube boiler. Water-tube boiler In this type, tubes filled with water are arranged inside a furnace in a number of possible configurations. Often the water tubes connect large drums, the lower ones containing water and the upper ones steam and water; in other cases, such as a mono-tube boiler, water is circulated by a pump ...
The circulation in a Yarrow boiler depended on a temperature difference between the inner and outer tube rows of a bank, and particularly upon the rates of boiling. Whilst this is easy to maintain at low powers, a higher pressure Yarrow boiler will tend to have less temperature difference and thus will have less effective circulation. [2]
A steam drum is a standard feature of a water-tube boiler. It is a reservoir of water/steam at the top end of the water tubes. The drum stores the steam generated in the water tubes and acts as a phase-separator for the steam/water mixture. The difference in densities between hot and cold water helps in the accumulation of the "hotter"-water ...
Supercritical water exists at temperatures above 374 °C and pressures above 220 atmospheres. Diagram of a supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactor. A supercritical steam generator is a type of boiler that operates at supercritical pressure and temperature, frequently used in the production of electric power.

Hydronics (from Ancient Greek hydro- 'water') is the use of liquid water or gaseous water or a water solution (usually glycol with water) as a heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The name differentiates such systems from oil and refrigerant systems.
