boiler out means temperature.pressure,steam flowrate,enthapy
Purpose of the boiler drum is to collect steam from all the various tubes in a boiler, and send it to the turbine to spin the generator

The term "once-through boiler" refers to a special type of water-tube boiler composed oftubes, in which water is input at the bottom, and steam is produced from the top.
A digester feed pump forces water to a boiler. It works by transferring cool water to the boiler to be heated.
Economizer is a device in which the waste heat of the fuel gases is utilized for heating the feed water.
Since sufficient feedwater is not supplied into the economizer though the heat is absorbed from flue gas at the boiler start-up and low load operation, steaming may occur in the economizer. Therefore the economizer recirculation line is provided between the furnace downcomer and the economizer inlet feedwater piping. This line provides the recirculation flow between the drum, the downcomer and the economizer so as to prevent steaming in the economizer. Economizer recirculation valve is only opened at initial stage of the boiler start-up.
The flue gases, after leaving the main boiler and the superheater, will still be hot. The energy in these flue gases are used to preheat the already preheated feed water once more by means of the economizer. The economizer is a heat exchanger mounted in the first part of the chimney to improve the thermal efficiency of the boiler. In broad terms a 10°C increase in feed water temperature entering the boiler will give an efficiency improvement of 2% of last mentioned.
Economizers (US), or economizers(UK/international), are mechanical devices intended to reduce energy consumption, or to perform another useful function such as preheating a fluid. The term economizer is used for other purposes as well. Boiler, power plant, and heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) uses are discussed in this article. In simple terms, an economizer is a heat exchanger.
Economizer is an accessory of boiler that recovers the waste heat from the flue gas blown out of the boiler. Thus it actually "economizes" the operational cost or in other words, improves the efficiency of fuel utilisation in the boiler. The temperature of the flue gases ( the mixture of burnt fuel & air ) depends up on the steam pressure ( temperature more precisely ). Higher the steam pressure generated, the higher is the flue gas temperature. Economizer is a heat exchanger which exchanges heat between water ( which is fed in to the boiler ) & the flue gas. It means it increases the temperature of the feed water using the otherwise wasted heat of the flue gas. So the water entering the boiler has higher temperature compared to the one without this economizer. This higher temperature of water requires less amount of heat to generate steam so the operation becomes "economical". Similarly the economizer can also work to heat up the air entering the boiler through the flue gas heat, instead of heating the water.
deaerator is a device used to remove dissolved oxygen and carbondi oxide in boiler feed water. it causes scaling inside the boiler tubes and economizer also.
The economizer is used to raise feedwater temperature up to nearly the temperature of the boiler to avoid thermal shock and improve the boiler's efficiency. Every 11 degrees Fahrenheit increase in feedwater temperature yields a 1% increase in boiler efficiency.
By measuring outlet temperature of water at downstream of pump and upstream of boiler.
we can increase boiler efficiency by recovering the heat which is being carried by flue gases.by incorporating different things like Economizer, Air pre-heater , Super-heater and feed-water heater, we can there ll be notable increase in efficiency of boiler.
An economizer is used to heat boiler feedwater up closer to the temperature of the boiler water, using heat from the boiler exhaust gases, heat that would otherwise be wasted. The main reason is to improve the efficiency of the boiler. For every 44 degree F drop in exhaust gas temp. there is an 11 F rise in feedwater temperature and a 1% gain in boiler efficiency.
What is used economizer in centrifugal chiller
Fins are a relatively easy and inexpensive way to increase the heating surface of an economizer. By utilizing fins it is possible to reduce the economizer footprint while achieving the desired performance.
