  2. O-type boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-type_boiler

    An O-type boiler is a form of water-tube boiler. It is named, like the D-type and A-type boilers , from the approximate shape of its tubes. They are characterised by single steam and water drums vertically above each other, with curved vertical water tubes to the sides forming an overall cylindrical volume.

  3. 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 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.

  4. Pulverized coal-fired boiler - Wikipedia

    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. 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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Chiller boiler system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller_boiler_system

    A chiller boiler system is a hydronic system. It uses water instead of air to heat and cool a structure. A properly designed hydronic system is usually more efficient than a standard forced air system. [1] Chiller boiler systems use radiant heating and cooling or fan coil systems to condition a home or business. This allows for multiple zones ...

  8. Boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler

    A fuel-heated boiler must provide air to oxidize its fuel. Early boilers provided this stream of air, or draught, through the natural action of convection in a chimney connected to the exhaust of the combustion chamber. Since the heated flue gas is less dense than the ambient air surrounding the boiler, the flue gas rises in the chimney ...

  9. Natural circulation boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_circulation_boiler

    Natural Circulation Boiler in construction. In a natural circulation boiler the circulation is achieved by the difference in density when the water in the boiler is heated. In natural circulation steam boilers the circulation of water is by convection currents, which are set up during the heating of water.
