  2. Steam explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_explosion

    A failure of fire tubes forces large volumes of high pressure, high temperature steam back down the fire tubes in a fraction of a second and often blows the burners off the front of the boiler, whereas a failure of the pressure vessel surrounding the water would lead to a full and entire evacuation of the boiler's contents in a large steam ...

  3. Boiler explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_explosion

    Boiler explosions are of a particular danger in (locomotive-type) fire tube boilers because the top of the firebox (crown sheet) must be covered with some amount of water at all times; or the heat of the fire can weaken the crown sheet or crown stays to the point of failure, even at normal working pressure.

  5. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    A steam boiler evaporates liquid water to form steam, or gaseous water, and requires frequent replenishment of boiler feedwater for the continuous production of steam required by most boiler applications. Water is a capable solvent, and will dissolve small amounts of solids from piping and containers including the boiler.

  6. Grover Shoe Factory disaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Shoe_Factory_disaster

    The factory was heated using steam radiators, with the steam being produced by coal-fired steel boilers installed in a brick boiler house attached to the wooden factory as the crossbar of the E. When the fourth floor was added, the original boiler was replaced by a larger one and the old boiler, 17 feet (5.2 m) long and six feet (1.8 m) in ...

  7. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

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

    A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (7–2,000 kPa or 1–290 psi) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a ...

  8. Talk:Boiler explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Boiler_explosion

    An automated feedwater pump fitted to a steam locomotive's boiler would have to be able to measure, very precisely, the water level throughout the boiler, the flow rate through the boiler, and the rate at which water was being lost due to steam generation (and then calculate a response based upon those variables), before it could be used.

  9. Package boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_boiler

    Internal layout of a three-pass fire-tube boiler. Package boilers are commonly called water or fire tube Boilers. Water tube boilers use convection heating, which draws the heat from the fire source, and passes against the generating tubes of the boiler, causing water inside those tubes to boil off into steam.
