The Velox boiler operates on the principle that heat transfer rate increases when gas velocity exceeds the speed of sound. This allows the Velox boiler to generate steam at a higher rate without increasing the boiler size. The Velox boiler works as a basic heat exchanger, where compressed air from a gas turbine passes through combustion chambers and fire tubes at supersonic speeds, transferring heat to water circulating at high speeds in evaporator tubes. The high-speed water circulation results in efficient heat transfer and mixing of water and steam, which is then separated before the steam is superheated and used for power generation. The flue gases also pass through superheater tubes before rotating the gas turbine and transferring remaining heat in an economizer.
