This presentation discusses boilers, which produce steam using heat from fuel combustion. Boilers are classified based on their orientation, whether they have fire or water tubes, furnace location, circulation method, pressure rating, mobility, and number of tubes. Key types include fire tube boilers like Cochran and Lancashire models, and water tube boilers such as Babcock and Wilcox. Selection depends on required steam properties, capacity, cost, and other factors. Proper boiler design considers safety, accessibility, efficiency, and other criteria.
