Fire Tube Boilers

Fire tube boilers, typically have a lower initial cost, are more fuel
efficient (82%) and easier to operate, but they are limited generally
to capacities of 25 tons/hr and pressures of 17.5 kg/cm2. The
steam variation is less.

Merits of water tube boiler over fire tube boiler


Steam generation is quick as the saturation temperature in
attained in short time.
Large evaporative capacity and the steam pressure can go
up to -20 MPa.
Heat exchange is effective as the flue gases travel at right
angles to the direction of water flow.
High combustion efficiency due to complete combustion of
fuel in the larger space of shell.
Uniform temperature due to quick circulation of water
keeps the thermal stresses low.

merits of water tube boiler over fire tube boiler


Easy to transport and erect.
Damage due to the bursting of water tube is less
serious. Therefore, water tube boilers are sometimes
called safety boilers.
All parts of the water tube boilers are easily accessible
for cleaning, inspecting and repairing.
The water tube boiler's furnace area can be easily
altered to meet the fuel requirements.

February 16, 2016

IIT Roorkee

Demerits
It is less suitable for impure and sedimentary water, as a small
deposit of scale may cause the overheating and bursting of
tube. Therefore, use of pure feed water is essential.
They require careful attention. The maintenance costs are
higher.
Failure in feed water supply even for short period is liable to
make the boiler over-heated.

between 11.5 to 17.5 bar.
The draught loss is minimum compared with other boilers.
The defective tubes can be replaced easily.
The entire boiler rests over an iron structure, independent of
brick work, so that the boiler may expand or contract freely.
The brick walls which form the surroundings of the boiler are
only to enclose the furnace and the hot gases.

Locomotive Boiler
Locomotive boiler is a horizontal fire tube type mobile boiler.
The main requirement of this boiler is that it should produce
steam at a very high rate.
Therefore, this boiler requires a large amount of heating
surface and large grate area to burn coal at a rapid rate.
In order to provide the large heating surface area, a large
number of fire tubes are setup and heat transfer rate is
increased by creating strong draught by means of steam jet.

DRAUGHT
Small pressure difference causing flow of air and gases
through the boiler.
It is essential to supply a sufficient quantity of air for
combustion and to remove the product of combustion.
