2. Stirling boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_boiler

   Stirling boiler. Five-drum form, section. Note the chain-grate automatic stoker (left). The Stirling boiler is an early form of water-tube boiler, used to generate steam in large land-based stationary plants. Although widely used around 1900, it has now fallen from favour and is rarely seen.

3. 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 the ...

4. Spiral watertube boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_watertube_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. This gives an extremely large heating area, and so good steam raising ...

5. 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. There is no grate at the base of this ...

6. Yarrow boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarrow_boiler

   Yarrow boilers are an important class of high-pressure water-tube boilers. They were developed by Yarrow & Co. (London), Shipbuilders and Engineers and were widely used on ships, particularly warships. The Yarrow boiler design is characteristic of the three-drum boiler: two banks of straight water-tubes are arranged in a triangular row with a ...

7. 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.
