INTRODUCTION
What is a Boiler?
 vessel that heats water to become
hot water or steam
 At atmospheric pressure water volume
increases 1,600 times
 Hot water steam used to transfer
heat to a processes
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
 The Boiler is essentially a closed vessel inside
which water is stored. Fuel is bunt in a furnace
and hot gasses are produced.
 These hot gasses come in a contact with water
vessel where the heat of these hot gases transfer to
water and consequently steam is produced in the boiler.
 This steam is piped to the turbine of power plant
TYPES OF BOILERS
 Fire Tube Boiler.
 Water Tube Boilers.
 Package Boilers.
 Other Boilers.
FIRE TUBE BOLIER
 Relatively small steam
capacities(12,000 kg/hr)
 Low to medium steam
pressures(18 kg/cm2)
 Operates with oil,
gas or solid fuels.
 Advantages of fire tube boilers:
1)It is quite compact in construction.
2)Fluctuation of steam demand can be met easily.
3)It is also quite cheap.
 Disadvantages of fire tube boilers:
1)As the water required for operation of the boilers is quite large,
it requires long time for rising steam as desired steam.
2)As the water and steam are in the same vessel the very high pressure
of steam is not possible.
3)The steam received from fire tube boiler is not very dry.
Water Tube Boilers
 Used for high steam demand
and pressure requirements.
 Capacity range of
4,500-120,000 kg/hr.
 Combustion efficiency enhanced
by induced draft provisions.
 Advantages of water tube boilers:
1)Large heating surface can be achieved by using
more number of water tubes.
2)Due to convectional flow, movement of water is must
faster than that of fire tube boiler; hence rate of heat transfer
Is high which results into higher efficiency.
3)Very high pressure in order of 140 kg/cm2 can be
obtained smoothly.
 Disadvantages of water tube boilers:
1)The main disadvantage of water tube boiler is that it is
not compact in construction.
2)Its cost is not cheap.
3)Size is a difficulty for transportation and construction.
SELECTION OF A BOILERS
 Working pressure and quality of steam.
 Steam generation rate.
 Floor area available
 Accessibility for repair and inspection.
 Comparative initial cost.
 Probable load factor.
 The fuel and water available.
 Operating and maintenance cost.
