What is Auxiliary Boiler?

An auxiliary boiler is a secondary boiler used to support the main boiler in a steam power plant or marine vessel. It is often used when the main boiler is unable to meet the steam demands, providing additional steam capacity. Auxiliary boilers can also be used for heating purposes during maintenance or downtime of the main boiler.


What is the use of downcomers in marine boiler?

Downcomers in marine boilers are vertical pipes that facilitate the downward flow of water from the steam drum to the water drum or lower sections of the boiler. They help maintain proper water circulation within the system, ensuring efficient heat transfer and preventing localized overheating. By promoting uniform water distribution, downcomers also contribute to improved boiler efficiency and safety by minimizing the risk of vapor lock or steam pockets. Overall, they play a crucial role in maintaining optimal operating conditions in marine boiler systems.
