Fire Tube Boiler
Bulk boiler water surrounds the fire
(energy) in the tube
Capacity is generally rated as horsepower
1 horsepower will generate 34.5 pounds of
steam per hour
Fire tube boilers are normally “multi-pass”
WTTCMOD2.PPT Slide 19 Printed on 5/17/2008

Fire Tube Boiler
Most fire tube boilers are sold as package units
The large, main fire tube is referred to as the
Morrison tube.
Fire tube capacities range from 5-1500 HP
The steam bubbles are produced on the top half
of the tube
The tubes are in staggered rows

Rapid drop in boiler pressure
Rapid increase in Steam load
Both lead to :
Increase in specific volume of steam
Increase in steam velocity.

A deaerator heats boiler feedwater
under slight pressure to force
oxygen out. The vessel also
breaks the water stream into small
droplets to provide increased
surface area allowing the oxygen
to escape more easily.
