STEAM BOILERS
INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
STEAM GENERATOR OR BOILER
A steam generator or boiler is
usually a closed vessel made of steel. Its
function is to transfer the heat produced by
the combustion of fuel to water and
ultimately to generate steam.
The steam generated may be supplied :
1.To an external combustion engine, i.e., steam engine
and steam turbines
2.At low pressures for industrial process work in
cotton mills, sugar factories , breweries etc., and
3.For producing hot water, which can be used for
heating installations at much lower pressures
Purpose of boilers
• For generating power in steam engines or
steam turbines
• In textile industries for sizing and bleaching
• For heating the buildings in cold weather and
for producing hot water for hot water supply
Primary requirements of a boiler
• The water must be contained safely
• The steam must be safely delivered in desired
condition (as regard its pressure,
temperature, quality and required rate)
IMPORTANT TERMS:IMPORTANT TERMS:
• Boiler shell
• Combustion chamber
• Grate
• Furnace
• Heating surface
• Mountings
• Accessories
Shell: Consists of one
or more steel plates
bent into a cylindrical
form and riveted or
welded together. The
shell ends are closed
with end plates
Furnace:
it is the chamber
formed by the space
above the grate and
below the boiler shell, in
which combustion takes
place.
Grate: it is a platform
in the furnace upon
which fuel is burnt
BURNER - A device for the
introduction of fuel and air
into a furnace at the desired
velocity.The burner is the
principal device for the firing
of oil and/or gas.
Ash Pit
The ash pit is the space where
ashes accumulate under the
fire. The ashes fall through the
fire grate into a (often)
removable box.
Mud Ring or Mud Drum
A typically cylindrical shaped
space at the bottom of the water
space. Sediment, mud, and other
impurities gather there.
SAFETY VALVE - A spring
loaded valve that automatically
opens when pressure attains the
valve setting. Used to prevent
excessive pressure from building
up in a boiler.
• Pressure Gauge. This
indicates the pressure of
the steam in the boiler.
• Fusible Plug . A fusible plug
operates as a safety valve
when dangerous
temperatures, rather than
dangerous pressures, are
reached in a closed vessel.
• Feed Check Valve. The
high pressure feed water
is supplied to the boiler
through this valve. This
valve opens towards the
boiler only and feeds the
water to the boiler.
• Steam Stop Valve.
• It regulates the flow of
steam supply outside.
Classification of boilers
• Horizontal, vertical or inclined
• Fire tube and water tube
• Externally fired and internally fired
• Forced circulation and natural circulation
• High pressure and low pressure
• Stationary and portable
• Single tube and multi tube
Horizontal, vertical or inclined
• If the axis of the boiler is horizontal, vertical or
inclined then it is called horizontal, vertical or
inclined boiler respectively
Fire tube and water tube
• If hot gases are inside the tube and water is
outside the tube, it is called fire-tube boiler.
• Examples: Cochran, Lancashire and
locomotive boilers
• If water is inside the tube and hot gases are
outside the tube, it is called fire-tube boiler.
• Examples: Babcock and Wilcox, Stirling,
Yarrow boiler etc
Externally fired and internally fired
• The boiler is known as externally fired if the
fire is outside the shell.
• Examples: Babcock and Wilcox, Stirling
• The boiler is known as internally fired if the
furnace is located inside the boiler shell.
• Examples: Cochran, Lancashire
Forced circulation and natural
circulation
• In forced circulation type of boilers, the
circulation of water is done by a forced pump
• Examples: Velox, Lamont, Benson boiler
• In natural circulation type of boilers, circulation
of water in the boiler takes place due to natural
convection currents produced by the
application of heat
• Examples: Lancashire, Babcock and Wilcox
High pressure and low pressure
• The boilers which produce steam at pressures
of 80 bar and above are called high pressure
boilers
• Examples: Babcock and Wilcox, Velox,
Lamont, Benson boilers
• The boilers which produce steam at pressure
below 80 bar are called low pressure boilers
• Examples: Cochran, Cornish, Lancashire
and locomotive boilers
Stationary and portable
• Stationary boilers are used for power plant-
steam, for central station utility power plants,
for plant process steam etc
• Mobile or portable boilers include locomotive
type, and other small unit for temporary use
at sites
Single tube and multi tube
• The fire tube boilers are classified as single
tube or multi-tube boilers, depending upon
whether the fire tube is one or more than one
• Examples of single tube boilers are Cornish
and simple vertical boiler
WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER:WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER:
The water is contained inside the tubes(called
water tubes)which are surrounded by flames
and hot gases from outside.
Ex: Babcock and Wilcox boiler, stirling boiler,
la - Mont boiler, yarrow boiler and loeffler
boiler
FIRE TUBE BOILER
In fire tube steam boilers, the flames and
hot gases produced by the combustion of
fuel pass through the tubes(called multi
tubes) which are surrounded by water.
The heat is conducted through the walls
of the tube from the hot gases through
the surrounding water.
Ex: Cochran boiler, Lancashire boiler,
Cornish boiler,

  • 22. Single tube and multi tube • The fire tube boilers are classified as single tube or multi-tube boilers, depending upon whether the fire tube is one or more than one • Examples of single tube boilers are Cornish and simple vertical boiler
  • 23. WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER:WATER TUBE STEAM BOILER: The water is contained inside the tubes(called water tubes)which are surrounded by flames and hot gases from outside. Ex: Babcock and Wilcox boiler, stirling boiler, la - Mont boiler, yarrow boiler and loeffler boiler
  • 24. FIRE TUBE BOILER In fire tube steam boilers, the flames and hot gases produced by the combustion of fuel pass through the tubes(called multi tubes) which are surrounded by water. The heat is conducted through the walls of the tube from the hot gases through the surrounding water. Ex: Cochran boiler, Lancashire boiler, Cornish boiler,
