Fire Tube Boilers


Introduction:
A boiler is a closed vessel in which water, under pressure, is transformed into steam
by the application of heat.

The primary function of a boiler is to generate steam at pressures above atmospheric


by the absorption of heat that is produced by the combustion of fuel.

Shell Boilers
Shell boilers may be defined as those boilers in which the heat
transfer surface are all contained within a steel shell.

Shell Boilers = Fire Tube Boilers = Smoke Tube Boilers


Products of Combustion pass through the boiler tubes, which in
turn transfer heat to the surrounding boiler water
