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.
What will happen when boiler steam drum level goes down?
Overheating of water wall tubes may cause crack. Boiler will damage due to boiler drum level goes down.
What percent of tubes in a water tube boiler can be plugged?
Typically, a maximum of 5-10% of tubes in a water tube boiler can be plugged without significantly affecting its efficiency and performance. Any more than this could lead to reduced heat transfer and potential overheating issues in the boiler.
What is the metal used for making tubings of firetube boiler?

Show you the diagram of lancashire boiler?
The name firetube is very descriptive. The fire, or hot flue gases from the burner, is channeled through tubes that are surrounded by the fluid to be heated. The body of the boiler is the pressure vessel and contains the fluid. In most cases this fluid is water that will be circulated for heating purposes or converted to steam for process use.Every set of tubes that the flue gas travels through, before it makes a turn, is considered a "pass". So a three-pass boiler will have three sets of tubes with the stack outlet located on the rear of the boiler. A 4-pass will have four sets and the stack outlet at the front.Firetube Boilers are:Relatively inexpensiveEasy to cleanCompact in sizeAvailable in sizes from 600,000 btu/hr to 50,000,000 btu/hrEasy to replace tubesWell suited for space heating and industrial process applicationsDisadvantages of Firetube Boilers include:Not suitable for high pressure applications 250 psig and aboveLimitation for high capacity steam generation

What is the purpose of boiler drum?
Purpose of the boiler drum is to collect steam from all the various tubes in a boiler, and send it to the turbine to spin the generator
How does the fire tube boiler operate?

What is use of stay tube in Cochran boiler?
The stay tubes basically hold the boiler together, they are thicker than the ordinary tubes and generally dont need to be replaced as often.
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.
