A steam generating unit generally is not a self contained unit and allows the steam by-product (water) to escape. A Boiler is generally a sealed system that recirculates the condensed water back to the heating chamber for re-use.

What does the steam boiler furnace do?

The steam boiler furnace is responsible for generating heat by burning fuel, which produces hot gases. These gases then transfer their heat to water in the boiler, converting it into steam. This steam is subsequently used for various applications, such as heating, powering turbines, or driving machinery. By efficiently managing combustion and heat transfer, the furnace plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the steam boiler system.


What is the difference between a steam boiler and steam generator?

boiler use many type of working fluids like water, Mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid. hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...


What is the difference between combined cycle and cogeneration?

In Cogeneration Plant : The generated steam in boiler is used for both power generation & process heating, thereby reducing the condenstion losses compared to thermal power plant. In combined cycle first is gas turbine , rather than wasting the flue gas from gas turbine, we are sending it into boiler and again generating steam for running steam turbine. Both the ways we are increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant

What is the difference between the operation of a automatic boiler and manual boiler?

boiler are working on same principal but automatic and manual boiler has difference that manual boiler working at single element loop and automatic boiler work at three element loop.single loop means when fuel increase mean load increase on boiler by adjusting fuel operator has to adjust steam drum level manualy , while automatic means when load increas, fuel increase steam drum level adjust automaticaly by watching fuel consumption.


Why you use boiler in oil refinery?

Use of water in a refinery is makeup for boiler feed. The chief uses of steam are for stripping, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. The steam comes in contact with the products in these operations, and generally the steam condensate is so highly contaminated that it cannot be reused for boiler feed or for other purposes. Steam is also used for process heating, for pumping, and, in some refineries, for generating electric power


What is a saddle boiler?

A saddle boiler is a type of steam boiler characterized by its distinctive shape, which resembles a saddle. It typically features a cylindrical design with a horizontal layout, and the boiler's firebox is often positioned beneath the steam-generating section. This configuration allows for efficient heat transfer and steam production, making saddle boilers suitable for various industrial applications. They are commonly used in situations where space is limited or when a compact design is advantageous.
