fire tube steam boiler

Fire tube boiler is one of the most basic types of boiler and the design is also very old. It was popular and it was mainly used for steam locomotive engines.

Fire tube boilers also find application in heat recovery solutions and superheated water production.

Non-condensing firetube boilers are available for low- or high-pressure steam, or for hot water applications. a firetube boiler uses a cylindrical vessel, with the flame in the furnace and the combustion gases inside the tubes. The furnace and tubes are contained within this vessel, which also houses the water and steam.

As the steam and water is stored is the same vessel, it is quite difficult to produce very high pressure steam from. General maximum capacity of this type of boiler is 17.5 kg/cm2 and with a capacity of 9 Metric Ton of steam per hour. In a fire tube boiler, the main boiler vessel is under pressure, so if this vessel is burst there will be a possibility of major accident due to this explosion.
