Baffles in water tube boilers are generally spiral twisted pieces of metal (though other methods have been used) inserted into the flue tube to cause turbulence, in addition to back pressure for better heat extraction. Typically, the design is to break the laminar flow in the exhaust gases and allow a better heat transfer through the tube. This will lower stack temperature and increase over all thermal efficiencies in water tube boilers.

What are the three basic types of low pressure boilers?

The three basic types of low pressure boilers are fire tube boilers, water tube boilers, and cast iron sectional boilers. Fire tube boilers heat water by circulating hot gases through tubes, water tube boilers circulate water through tubes that are heated externally, and cast iron sectional boilers have multiple sections that heat water as it flows through them.


Why sediment deposition is less in water tube boiler?

Sediment deposition is less in water tube boilers compared to fire tube boilers because water tube boilers have a higher water velocity that helps prevent sediment from settling on the tubes. Additionally, the design of water tube boilers allows for easier removal of any sediment that does accumulate.


What are the 2 main types of boilers?

Fire tube and water tube. Steam Boiler and Water Boiler.


Difference between fire tube boiler and water tube boiler?

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.


What are some applications for a water tube boiler?

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.


What is difference between vertical and horizantal boiler?

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.


Are all water tube boilers suspended from overhead or set on columns to take care of expansion and contraction?

No. Most, like Stirling, B&W and Heine boilers are suspended from steel work with cleats or U-bolts, however some designs are not suspended. A small vertical water tube boiler could have been mounted on a base with the expansion from heating moving upwards. A Clayton steam generator is a coiled boiler mounted on a base. Robert's or Almy marine boilers are mounted on bases. Automotive water tube boilers were mounted on automotive frames.


Why pressure is low in fire tube boilers?

Hot pressure


Do boilers use water?

boilers sometimes do use water only for cleaning and drying clothes


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.


How do you lower the water level in my boilers sight tube its too high im not getting enough heat to my second floor?

There should be a drain valve on the boiler. Drain it to the desired water level there.
