Boiler

A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (1–300 psi or 6.895–2,068.427 kPa) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a steam generator.

A boiler or steam generator is used wherever a source of steam is required. The form and size depends on the application: mobile steam engines such as steam locomotives, portable engines and steam-powered road vehicles typically use a smaller boiler that forms an integral part of the vehicle; stationary steam engines, industrial installations and power stations will usually have a larger separate steam generating facility connected to the point-of-use by piping. A notable exception is the steam-powered fireless locomotive, where separately-generated steam is transferred to a receiver (tank) on the locomotive

A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated. The fluid does not necessarily boil. (In North America the term “furnace” is normally used if the purpose is not actually to boil the fluid.) The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.

The pressure vessel of a boiler is usually made of steel (or alloy steel), or historically of wrought iron. Stainless steel, especially of the austenitic types, is not used in wetted parts of boilers due to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.However, ferritic stainless steel is often used in superheater sections that will not be exposed to boiling water, and electrically-heated stainless steel shell boilers are allowed under the European “Pressure Equipment Directive” for production of steam for sterilizers and disinfectors.

A gas/oil central heating boiler (heat generator) is like the engine of a car, this provides the heat that the facility needs to warm itself up. The size of the boiler is matched to the size of the facility.

• If the boiler is oversized, the fuel bills will be excessive.
• If the boiler is undersized, it may not generate enough heat in winter.

The boiler is not the heating system; it is only one of the parts in the global heating system., a heating system consists of four main parts:

1. Boiler/burner combination (the part producing the heat)
2. Piping with pumps and valves (the part distributing the heat)
3. Radiators and convectors (the part emitting the heat to the room)
4. Control equipment such as room thermostat and outside temperature control (the part controlling room and water temperature)

 Boiler Working

Types Of Boiler

Fire-tube Boilers

In fire-tube boilers, combustion gases pass through the inside of the tubes with water surrounding the outside of the tubes. The advantages of a fire-tube boiler are its simple construction and less rigid water treatment requirements.

The disadvantages are the excessive weight-per-pound of steam generated, excessive time required to raise steam pressure because of the relatively large volume of water, and inability to respond quickly to load changes, again, due to the large water volume.

Water-tube Boilers

In a water-tube boiler , the water is inside the tubes and combustion gases pass around the outside of the tubes. The advantages of a water-tube boiler are a lower unit weight-per-pound of steam generated, less time required to raise steam pressure, a greater flexibility for responding to load changes, and a greater ability to operate at high rates of steam generation.
