Study Notes
Boiler Types and Characteristics
- The main function of a Steam Generator or Steam Boiler is to generate steam.
Water Tube Boiler
- In a Water Tube Boiler, water circulates within tubes and heat is applied from outside the tubes to generate steam.
Power Boiler
- A Power Boiler is defined as a boiler that supplies steam to a turbine or engine for the purpose of generating electricity or mechanical power.
Portable Boiler
- A Portable Boiler is a boiler that is primarily intended for temporary location and is obviously portable.
Miniature Boiler
- A Miniature Boiler is defined as a boiler that has a heating surface of 16 square feet (1.5 square meters) or less.
Locomotive Boiler
- A Locomotive Boiler is a boiler that is mounted on a self-propelled track locomotive and used to furnish motivating power travelling on rails.
Fire Tube Boiler vs Water Tube Boiler
- The main difference between a Water Tube Boiler and a Fire Tube Boiler is that in a Water Tube Boiler, water circulates within tubes and heat is applied from outside the tubes to generate steam, whereas in a Fire Tube Boiler, the opposite occurs.
