This presentation discusses different types of boilers. A boiler is a vessel that heats water to produce steam or hot water. Boilers work by transferring the heat from hot gases produced by burning fuel to water stored inside the closed vessel. The main types discussed are fire tube boilers, water tube boilers, and package boilers. Fire tube boilers are compact but produce lower pressure steam more slowly, while water tube boilers can produce very high pressure steam more efficiently but are less compact and more expensive. Key factors in selecting a boiler include steam requirements, available space, maintenance needs, and costs.
