What is Steam Boilers
A steam boiler is a device that uses thermal energy to produce steam from water. It can be claimed that, despite the definitions’ ambiguity, older steam generators were more often referred to as steam boilers and operated at low to medium pressures (1–300 psi, or 6.895–2,068.427 kPa). However, at pressures higher than this, it is more typical to refer to a steam generator.
A steam boiler is a closed vessel that uses heat from a fuel source to convert water into steam, which is used in various industrial and commercial applications such as heating and power generation. The basic working principle involves the combustion of fuel inside the boiler’s combustion chamber, which produces high-temperature gases that transfer heat energy to the water surrounding the chamber, causing it to boil. Steam boilers come in different types, such as fire-tube and water-tube boilers, and have essential roles in providing heat and steam for various applications. Proper maintenance and adherence to safety protocols are crucial for their efficient and safe operation.
Purpose of Steam Boiler
- for producing energy in steam turbines or engines
- for a variety of processes in the process industries.
- for generating hot water for the hot water supply and for warming the buildings during the winter
Primary Requirements of a Steam Boiler
- The water needs to be securely confined.
- The steam needs to be supplied in a safe manner and at the required temperature, pressure, quality, and rate.
Types of Steam Boiler
- Boilers with fire-tube construction: These boilers burn fuel in a firebox. Water surrounds the tubes that the hot gases from the firebox flow through.
- Boilers with water tubes that are surrounded by hot gasses are known as water-tube boilers. The layout of the water tubes varies based on the particular boiler type.
- Packaged boilers: These boilers are skid-mounted and come pre-assembled. Usually, they are employed in business and industrial settings.
- Boilers that condense back into water are known as condensing boilers because they retain heat from the steam. This may increase the boiler’s efficiency.
