 BOILER
Boiler is an enclosed vessel that provides a means for
converting water into steam. The steam under pressure is
then used for transferring the heat to a process. Water is a
useful and cheap medium for transferring heat to a process.
When water is boiled its volume increases by about 1600
times, producing a force that is almost as explosive as
gunpowder. This causes the boiler to be extremely dangerous
and must be treated with a lot of care
 TYPES OF BOILER
 WATER TUBE BOILER
Water tube or “water in tube” boilers have water
passing through the tubes and the steam
circulates around it. The common water tube
boilers are “D” type, “A” type, “O” type, bent
tube and there are infinite number of boiler
designs but generally they fit into one of the two
categories:
WATER TUBE BOILER
 FIRE TUBE BOILER
Fire tube or “fire in tube” boilers, contain long
steel tubes through which the hot gases from a
furnace pass and around which the water to be
heated circulates. In a fire tube boiler the heat
(gases) from the combustion of the fuel passes
through the tubes and is transferred to the water
which is in a large cylindrical storage area.
FIRE TUBE BOILER
SUPER HEATER
It is a device used to convert saturated steam or
wet steam into superheated steam or dry steam.
Super heaters are used in steam engines or in
processes, such as steam reforming. There are
three types of super heaters: radiant, convection,
and separately fired. A super heater can vary in
size from a few tens of feet to several hundred feet
(a few meters to some hundred meters).
BOILER MOUNTINGS
Just installing a boiler on a ship doesn’t guarantee efficient
working of a boiler. There are several mountings and
attachments required to be fitted on the boiler to ensure its safety
and quality performance.
There are several mountings
 Main steam stop valve
 Safety valve
 Air release valve
 Feed check valve
 Blow down valve
BOILER ACCESSORIES
Boiler accessories are those components which are
installed either inside or outside the boiler to increase the
efficiency of the plant and to help in the proper working
of the plant.
Several accessories are as follows :
 Air preheater
 Economizer
 Super Heater
 Feed Pump
