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 is a mud drum in boilers?
mud drum means water drum or feed water drum
Where can one find Buderus boilers?
Buderus boilers can be found on their website. They have a full product line including condensing and wall-hung boilers, domestic hot water tanks, climate and energy controls, panel radiator, solar heating systems and other hot water heating accessories.
Why steam boilers are coil type boilers?
All boilers are not coil type think of the pork chop steam boilers AKA cast iron sectional
How does the fire tube boiler operate?
In a fire tube boiler, the water surrounds a set of tubes through which the fire and the products of combustion travel (as opposed to a water tube boiler, in which the water travels through the tubes, and the fire surrounds the tubes).The HVAC Veteran
How do domestic oil fired boilers work?
By taking fuel, coal, wood ,oil, gas, electic and transfering it to make heat such as steam or hot water
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.
What is a glass tube?
Maybe a tube made of glass?Is there something more to this question I don't get?
What has the author L Baker written?
L. Baker has written: 'VHDL Programming' 'Jim Baker the Red Headed Shoshoni' 'The design of marine water-tube boilers'
What is a silencer tube?
A silencer tube is the housing that ultimately contains the hot, high pressure gases leaving the end of the barrel and allows them to cool and expand before leaving the end of the silencer.The silencer tube is filled with materials, often baffles, that help divert the gas from the path of the bullet and produce turbulence to slow its escape.In many cases, if you take the silencer tube away you just have a piece of metal that threads onto your barrel and a bunch of baffles in your hand. You would attach the tube to the thread mount, fill it with baffles, and screw the end cap on to have yourself a functioning silencer.
