November 12, 1944, the first basic patent for Corner Tube Boilers (= Eckrohrkessel, Berlin, Germany) was applied for. During this time oil as fuel ran short. All efforts, to save energy and use domestic and alternate resources, were to be made. One came up with an idea, to operate cars and trucks, not on gasoline or diesel fuel, but with steam.
Dr. Vorkauf, a specialist for water circulation in boilers, especially in La Mont boilers (forced circulation boilers), got the order to design a small boiler for a steam engine fired with coal or wood. The result was not as expected a forced circulation boiler, but a natural circulation boiler. A forced circulation boiler of this size would have been too costly.
Due to his experience with the La Mont boiler Dr. Vorkauf had the idea to obtain a pre-separation of the steam - water mixture in front of the drum. An extremely lively water circulation resulted from unheated downcomers and a suitable arrangement of the mixture tubes. The unheated downcomers were installed in the 4 corners of the boiler, where they not only served the purpose of water circulation, but also as a support frame for the boiler. The boiler with such an arrangement of the downcomers in the corners was called Corner Tube Boiler (Eckrohrkessel, Eckrohr-Boiler).

What is the meaning of once through boiler?
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.
Do tubes in a water tube boiler burn off after plugging them. Should the damaged section be cut off before firing the boiler. would the damaged tuber couse damaged to the other tubes is not cut off?
It can be left in there without any immediate issues. It will not effect the operation of the boiler. Depending on it's location in the boiler it may burnout eventually but if it is near the last pass it will more than likely stay intact as the heat in this section of the boiler is not hot enough to burnout a tube. The tube will start to change color and normally the metal will begin to delaminate and show visible signs of stress before it lets go. If it is loose and accessible you may want to remove it when your unit is down. This will prevent it from falling onto other tubes which should really hurt anything but if it is a long tube that you plugged it could damage eh refractory and/or baffles. Hard to say much more without any other info on the unit.

What is difference between vertical and horizantal boiler?
there are two types of boilers water tube and fire tube. fire tube boilers are divided in to two categories vertical and horizontal. this according to the construction of fire tubes. it is said that vertical boilers are inefficient than horizontal boilers. The vertical boiler is small capacity, and horizontal boiler is higher capacity, well, the horizontal boiler have many types according the drums, there are single drums boiler, and double drums boiler, while, the single drums boiler have fire tube boiler and water and fire tube boiler, double drums boiler is usually water tube boiler.
What are the 2 main types of boilers?
Fire tube and water tube. Steam Boiler and Water Boiler.
What is a simple vertical boiler?
A simple vertical boiler is a type of fire-tube or water-tube boiler where the boiler barrel is oriented vertically instead of the more common horizontal orientation.
Difference between water tube boiler and fire tube boiler?
The answer is in the name. Boilers are made with a "tube - in - shell" construction, and the name implies what is in the tube. In a water tube boiler, the water circulates through the tubes, and the burner is usually under them. Most of the time, the "shell" of this style of boiler would not be watertight. A fire tube boiler has a watertight outer jacket with tubes through the center of it. The flame is shot through the tubes.
What is the average Boiler Tube Lifespan?
The average lifespan of a boiler tube is 20 to 40 years. Boiler tubes are made out of heat-resistant carbon and low-alloy steel.
Difference between fire tube boiler and water tube boiler?
The difference between the two is that the Water tube boilers are safer and last much longer than the fire tube boiler. Their size is also larger and have a faster recovery time. However fire tube boilers have a low cost.
