   Spanner boilers were also known for their use as train-heating boilers. spherical boiler: [55] Stanley steam-car boiler: an extremely compact vertical multitubular fire-tube boiler, used in the Stanley steam car. Steam generator: modern boilers, with very small volume in relation to their heating area. Boiling is thus almost instantaneous and ...

   It passes below the critical point as it does work in a high-pressure turbine and enters the generator's condenser. This results in slightly less fuel use and therefore less greenhouse gas production. The term "boiler" should not be used for a supercritical pressure steam generator, as no "boiling" actually occurs in this device.

   It lasted from the end of the low-pressure haystack boilers in the mid-19th century through to the early 20th century and the advent of steam turbines with high-pressure water-tube boilers such as the Yarrow. Large or fast ships could require a great many boilers. The Titanic had 29 boilers: 24 double-ended and 5 smaller single-ended. The ...

5. Launch-type boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch-type_boiler

   A launch-type, gunboat or horizontal multitubular boiler [1] is a form of small steam boiler. It consists of a cylindrical horizontal shell with a cylindrical furnace and fire-tubes within this. Their name derives from the boiler's popular use at one time for small steam yachts and launches .

6. 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.

   This type generally gives high steam production rates, but less storage capacity than the above. Water tube boilers can be designed to exploit any heat source and are generally preferred in high-pressure applications since the high-pressure water/steam is contained within small diameter pipes which can withstand the pressure with a thinner wall.
