A boiler pressure vessel is designed to contain water and generate steam under high pressure for heating or power generation, while a heat exchanger is a device that facilitates the transfer of heat between two or more fluids without mixing them. Boilers typically operate at higher pressures and temperatures compared to heat exchangers, which can be used in various applications including cooling and heating processes. Additionally, heat exchangers can be found in many forms, such as shell-and-tube or plate designs, whereas boiler pressure vessels are specifically engineered for steam generation and storage.

there are two type of heat exchanger in absorption refrigeration, first is liquid heat exchanger and other is gas heat exchanger.both heat exchanger function is same, to transfer heat (hot medium to cold medium) without violate second newton law of thermodynamics. liquids heat exchanger is between boiler and absorber vessel mean while gas heat exchanger between evaporator and absorber.

The boiler circulating pump is essential for maintaining the flow of water or steam within the boiler system. Its primary function is to circulate water from the boiler to the heat exchanger and back, ensuring efficient heat transfer and maintaining the desired temperature and pressure levels. This circulation helps prevent overheating and ensures uniform heating throughout the system, contributing to overall operational efficiency and safety.
In boiler the feed is only liquid but in reboiler the feed may be any liquid. second is that, reboiler do partial vapourization but the boiler does complete vapourization
500 MW Boiler is sub-critical Boiler which generates steam at pressure lower than the critical pressure ie below 221.2 kg/sqcm. where as the 660 MW boiler is super critical boiler which operates steam pressure above critical pressure.
Differential pressure in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) boiler refers to the difference in pressure between two points within the system, typically across the bed of the boiler. This pressure difference is crucial for maintaining the proper flow of gas and solid particles, ensuring efficient combustion and heat transfer. Monitoring differential pressure helps in optimizing the operation of the boiler, as it can indicate changes in bed density, flow resistance, or potential blockages. Maintaining the appropriate differential pressure is essential for the overall performance and efficiency of the CFBC boiler.

A condenser boiler has a primary and a secondary heat exchanger. Fuel that is used to simply warm up water can be sent to the secondary heat exchanger and reused. This is a substantially more efficient use of energy.
A desuper heater is for low and medium pressure and temperature application as required in process plants. Attemperator covers all the range depending on the steaming parameters of the boiler. In functioning, they are both the same i.e. they remove the superheat of the steam with help of water either by direct contact with spray or by indirect contact in a heat exchanger.

A burner is the part of the boiler that creates and controls the flame that heats the water. If you meant difference between a boiler and a furnace, a boiler makes hot water and a furnace makes hot air.
The flow of flue gases in chimney due to difference in pressure i.e cold atmospheric air outside and hot gases in chmney is called as boiler draught.
