Fire Tube Boilers
Fire tube boilers, typically have a lower initial cost, are more fuel
efficient (82%) and easier to operate, but they are limited generally
to capacities of 25 tons/hr and pressures of 17.5 kg/cm2. The
steam variation is less.

Merits of water tube boiler over fire tube boiler
� Steam generation is quick as the saturation temperature in
attained in short time.
� Large evaporative capacity and the steam pressure can go
up to -20 MPa.
� Heat exchange is effective as the flue gases travel at right
angles to the direction of water flow.
� High combustion efficiency due to complete combustion of
fuel in the larger space of shell.
� Uniform temperature due to quick circulation of water
keeps the thermal stresses low.

…merits of water tube boiler over fire tube boiler
� Easy to transport and erect.
� Damage due to the bursting of water tube is less
serious. Therefore, water tube boilers are sometimes
called safety boilers.
� All parts of the water tube boilers are easily accessible
for cleaning, inspecting and repairing.
� The water tube boiler's furnace area can be easily
altered to meet the fuel requirements.

� It is less suitable for impure and sedimentary water, as a small
deposit of scale may cause the overheating and bursting of
tube. Therefore, use of pure feed water is essential.
� They require careful attention. The maintenance costs are
higher.
� Failure in feed water supply even for short period is liable to
make the boiler over-heated.

� During the boiler trial following data were obtained:
� Coal analysis dry: C=85.2%, H=4.8%, ash = 10%, GCV of dry coal
35 MJ/kg; moisture content 1.8%; coal consumption 1450 kg/h;
Boiler room temperature 25 oC; feed water temperature 55 oC;
steam pressure 1.2 MPa, steam temperature 250 oC; steam
raised 12500 kg/h; Analysis of dry flue gases by volume of
gases: CO2 =9.4%, O2 =11.1%, N2= 79.5%. The temperature of
gases in the uptake was 300 oC. Mean specific of dry gases
1.005 kJ/kg.
� Prepare a complete balance sheet per kg of dry coal.
