Water tube boilers are used in marine and stationary applications. A water tube boiler heats by water flowing through tubes and being heated by fire externally.
There are a great many different kinds of power plants in the world. These power plants can be run by water for example.
A waterwall in a boiler is any furnace wall that is comprised of refractory and tubes in a water-tube boiler. The tubes are evenly spaced and generally connect to headers which in turn are connected back to the main generating bank of the boiler. They serve a two fold purpose here in that they capture heat that would otherwise escape to the atmosphere and help heat the water in the boiler. And they also help keep the refractory cool (relatively speaking) This prevents spalling of the refractory.
for the purpose of water-steam separation. High efficiency separation is very important in order to: - prevent water droplet carryover into the superheater, where serious thermal damage can occur. - prevent the carryover of solids entrained in water droplets into the superheater and turbine blading, where deposits may form, which are difficult to remove. These deposits end up reducing turbine efficiency and causing superheater tube temperature increases, distortion or even burnout.
Clinkers, also known as slag, consist of the noncombustible elements and minerals found in coal that melt and fuse together as lumpy ashes from coal combustion. Boiler operators consider clinkers to be miserable stuff
the advantage is the design is complicated
The words are literal , a water tube boiler is water inside the tubes with hot gases surrounding them and a fire tube boiler are got gases within the tubes with water surrounding them.
You will find it in any mechanical engineering heat transfer book
Fire tube and water tube. Steam Boiler and Water 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.
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.
In a fire tube boiler, the water surrounds a set of tubes through which the fire and the products of combustion travel (as opposed to a water tube boiler, in which the water travels through the tubes, and the fire surrounds the tubes).The HVAC Veteran

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.
the maximum pressure and the capacity in the fire tube boiler are usually depends on the model design and specified by the manufacturers in the manufacturer manual.
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.
