Q: Why are the tubes of water tube boilers kept inclined? What are the advantages of bent tubes over straight tube in such boilers? A: To promote convection circulation and to minimize stresses in the tube to drum joint from differential thermal expansion.
Read MoreWater tube boilers are classified as follows: 1. Horizontal straight tube boilers (a) Longitudinal drum (b) Cross-drum. 2. Bent tube boilers (a) Two drum (b) Three drum (c) Low head three drum (d) four drum. 3. Cyclone fired boilers Various advantages of water tube
Read MoreThe bent tube or Stirling boiler allows for a large surface heat transfer area, as well as promoting natural water circulation. Advantages of water-tube boilers: They have a small water content, and therefore respond rapidly to load change and heat input.
Read MoreWatertube Bent-Tube Boiler design with two drums. Bent tubes, on one side of the boiler, form a "D" shape which creates a water-cooled furnace. The back wall, which receives radiant and convection heat, is usually protected by refractory plus it has some wider
Read MoreThis is to encourage convection in the tubes, as heat rises. A circulation between the water drum and steam drum is set up in order to heat the water uniformly; the heated water wall is called the riser, the return (cooler) water wall is the Downc

Read MoreWhile the O-type boiler exposes less tube surface to radiant heat then the A, and D types, its compact design makes it popular choice where space is limited Explain Steam bubbles In each of the designs, steam bubbles form in the hottest tubes (risers) and rise to the steam drum, where the steam is separated out of the water and steam mixture.
Read MoreWater-tube boilers were of value in low-headroom conditions to produce continuous and economical production of steam even when using poor feedwater or under sudden load swings. Babcock and Wilcox, which had introduced safety boilers in 1867, purchased the Stirling Boiler Company in 1906, initiating the mass production of B&W bent-tube boilers at Stirling's plant in Barberton, Ohio.
