What is a Boiler • A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated under pressure. • uses water to transfer combustion heat into working energy • Heat generated by Combustion of Fuel is transferred to water to become steam Why There is a Need of a Boiler • Power Generation • Heating Requirements • Control of Process engineering-resource.com
various heating surfaces in a boiler Heating surface is expressed in square feet or in square meter Classified into : • Radiant Heating Surfaces — (direct or primary) surfaces that are directly exposed to the radiant heat of the combustion flame. • ConvectedHeating Surfaces — ( indirect or secondary) exposed only to hot combustion gases. 3 Extended Heating Surfaces— referring to the surface of economizers and super heaters used in certain types of water tube boilers. engineering-resource.com
