  2. Vertical boiler with horizontal fire-tubes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_boiler_with...

    Where such a boiler may be heated either by the exhaust gases of the main propulsion plant, or else separately fired when in port (usually by oil rather than coal) it is referred to as a composite boiler. [4] The boiler is a cylindrical vertical water drum with a hemispherical domed top. This domed shape is strong enough not to require staying.

    return-tube boiler: fire-tube boiler with multiple small fire-tubes that reverse the direction of gas flow within the boiler. Individual tubes are not folded: there is usually a furnace, a combustion chamber that reverses the flow, then the tubes return from that. The Scotch is a well-known example of this type. Robertson boiler

  5. Recovery boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_boiler

    The flue gas heat loss will decrease as the flue gas flow diminishes. Increasing black liquor dry solids is especially helpful since the recovery boiler capacity is often limited by the flue gas flow. A modern recovery boiler consists of heat transfer surfaces made of steel tube; furnace-1, superheaters-2, boiler generating bank-3 and ...

  6. Air preheater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_preheater

    There are two types of air preheaters for use in steam generators in thermal power stations: One is a tubular type built into the boiler flue gas ducting, and the other is a regenerative air preheater. [1] [2] [7] These may be arranged so the gas flows horizontally or vertically across the axis of rotation.

  7. Package boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_boiler

    In order for these boilers to operate properly, they require a long warm-up process, and are prone to thermal shock of the boiler. These boilers can be rated up to 500,000 lb/hr. [ 2 ] The wall membrane of the boiler are dual welded, (welded on either side of the wall membrane) to provide extra reinforcement for high loads.

  8. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

    Electric steam boilers are more efficient than fire-heated boilers because they require less energy to be put into them for operation at capacity. This is because there is little energy lost when the transfer of heat from the heating element to the water occurs, unlike traditional fire heated boilers, where there is a substantial amount of ...

  9. Outdoor wood-fired boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoor_wood-fired_boiler

    The outdoor wood boiler is a variant on the indoor wood, oil or gas boiler. An outdoor wood boiler or outdoor wood stove is a unit about 4-6 feet wide and around 10 feet long. It is made up of four main parts- the firebox, which can be either round or square, the water jacket, the heat exchanger, and the weather proof housing.
