What is a Boiler?
Introduction
• Vessel that heats water to become hot water or steam
• At atmospheric pressure water volume increases 1,600 times
• Hot water or steam used to transfer heat to a process

Type of Boilers
(Light Rail Transit Association)
1. Fire Tube Boiler
• Relatively small steam capacities (12,000 kg/hour)
• Low to medium steam pressures (18 kg/cm2)
• Operates with oil, gas or solid fuels

2. Water Tube Boiler
(Your Dictionary.com)
• Used for high steam demand and pressure requirements
• Capacity range of 4,500 – 120,000 kg/hour
• Combustion efficiency enhanced by induced draft provisions
• Lower tolerance for water quality and needs water treatment plant

3. Packaged Boiler
Oil Burner
To Chimney
• Comes in complete package
• Features• High heat transfer• Faster evaporation • Good convective
heat transfer• Good combustion
efficiency• High thermal
efficiency
• Classified based on number of passes

4. Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Boiler• Particles (e.g. sand) are
suspended in high velocity air stream: bubbling fluidized bed
• Combustion at 840° – 950° C
• Fuels: coal, washery rejects, rice husk, bagasse and agricultural wastes
• Benefits: compactness, fuel flexibility, higher combustion efficiency, reduced SOx & NOx

5. Stoke Fired Boilers
a) Spreader stokers• Coal is first burnt in suspension then in
coal bed
• Flexibility to meet load fluctuations
• Favored in many industrial applications

5. Stoke Fired Boilers
b) Chain-grate or traveling-grate stoker
(University of Missouri, 2004)
• Coal is burnt on moving steel grate
• Coal gate controls coal feeding rate
• Uniform coal size for complete combustion

6. Pulverized Fuel Boiler
• Pulverized coal powder blown with combustion air into boiler through burner nozzles
• Combustion temperature at 1300 -1700 °C
• Benefits: varying coal quality coal, quick response to load changes and high pre-heat air temperatures

7. Waste Heat Boiler• Used when waste heat
available at medium/high temp
• Auxiliary fuel burners used if steam demand is more than the waste heat can generate
• Used in heat recovery from exhaust gases from gas turbines and diesel engines

Assessment of a Boiler
1. Boiler performance• Causes of poor boiler performance
- Poor combustion- Heat transfer surface fouling- Poor operation and maintenance- Deteriorating fuel and water quality
• Heat balance: identify heat losses
• Boiler efficiency: determine deviation from best efficiency

Assessment of a Boiler
Heat BalanceGoal: improve energy efficiency by reducing avoidable lossesAvoidable losses include:
- Stack gas losses (excess air, stack gas temperature)
- Losses by unburnt fuel
- Blow down losses
- Condensate losses
- Convection and radiation
