  2. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

    Water-tube boiler. A high pressure watertube boiler [1] (also spelled water-tube and water tube) is a type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by fire. Fuel is burned inside the furnace, creating hot gas which boils water in the steam-generating tubes. In smaller boilers, additional generating tubes are separate in ...

  3. Field-tube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-tube_boiler

    Field-tube boiler. A Field-tube boiler (also known as a bayonet tube [1] ) is a form of water-tube boiler where the water tubes are single-ended. The tubes are closed at one end, and they contain a concentric inner tube. Flow is thus separated into the colder inner flow down the tube and the heated flow upwards through the outer sleeve.

  4. Spiral watertube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_watertube_boiler

    Climax boiler. Spiral water-tube boilers are a family of vertical water-tube boilers. Their steam generating tubes are narrow spiral tubes, arranged in circular fashion around a central vertical water drum. The water tubes are long, numerous and of 2 inches (50 mm) diameter, or smaller.

  5. Shell-and-tube heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell-and-tube_heat_exchanger

    A shell-and-tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs. [1] [2] It is the most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes ...

  6. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    t. e. A solar thermal collector collects heat by absorbing sunlight. The term "solar collector" commonly refers to a device for solar hot water heating, but may refer to large power generating installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers or non water heating devices such as solar cooker, solar air heaters. [1]

  7. LNER Class W1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_W1

    LNER Class W1. Water cap. The LNER W1 No. 10000 (also known as the Hush-Hush due to its secrecy) was an experimental steam locomotive fitted with a high pressure water-tube boiler. Nigel Gresley was impressed by the results of using high-pressure steam in marine applications and so in 1924 he approached Harold Yarrow of shipyard and ...

  8. Flash boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_boiler

    A flash boiler is a type of water-tube boiler. The tubes are close together and water is pumped through them. A flash boiler differs from the type of monotube steam generator in which the tube is permanently filled with water. In a flash boiler, the tube is kept so hot that the water feed is quickly flashed into steam and superheated.

  9. O-type boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-type_boiler

    An O-type boiler is a form of water-tube boiler. It is named, like the D-type and A-type boilers , from the approximate shape of its tubes. They are characterised by single steam and water drums vertically above each other, with curved vertical water tubes to the sides forming an overall cylindrical volume.

  10. Steam drum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_drum

    Steam drum. A steam drum is a standard feature of a water-tube boiler. It is a reservoir of water/steam at the top end of the water tubes. The drum stores the steam generated in the water tubes and acts as a phase- separator for the steam/water mixture. The difference in densities between hot and cold water helps in the accumulation of the ...
