Boilers.
Classification of
Boilers
Classification of Boilers:
Boilers may be classified according to the following1. Relative position of Hot gases and Water
a) Fire tube boiler:
The hot gases passes through the tubes that are
surrounded by water. Fire tube boilers are also known by
certain common namesi) Horizontal return tubular
ii) Locomotive fire box
iii) Scotch marine and,
iv) Vertical tubular
2. Method of firing
a) Internally fired Boilers:
The furnace is provided inside the boiler shell and is
completely surrounded by water cooled surfaces.
This method of firing is used in:
Lancashire Boilers
Locomotive Boilers and
Scotch Boilers
Cochran Boilers
Cornish Boiler
Lancashire Boiler
Locomotive Boiler
Boiler Mountings:
The necessary devices installed or mounted for
Boiler Accessories:
The devices which are installed in the boiler for
their efficient operation and smooth working are
called Boiler Accessories.

VALVE
JUNCTION VALVE:
The valve placed directly on a boiler in order to regulate the
steam supply from boiler to steam pipe is called the Junction
Valve.
STOP VALVE:
The valve used to regulate the steam supply from the steam pipe
to the prime mover (steam engine or steam turbine) is called
Stop Valve.
JUNCTION VALVE
BLOW-OFF COCK
FUSIBLE PLUG
MANHOLE
This is provided at suitable position on the boiler
shell so that the man can enter into boiler shell for
inspection, maintenance and repairs. This hole is
usually made in elliptical shape of the size convenient
for a man to enter through this hole. The opening is
closed by steam tight cover.
STEAM TRAP
,Steam trap is used to collect and automatically drain
away the water resulted from partial condensation of
steam without steam to escape with this condensate
through a valve. The valve after draining the
condensate is closed. Is presses the leakage of steam
from the trap.
ANTIPRIMING PIPE
It is attached below the stop valve to avoid the water particles
being carried away along with steam. It has closed pipe with
closed ends of 1m and 2m length. The top side of the pipe has
BOILER ACESSORIES
Function:
The function of the air pre-heater is to
increase the temperature of air
before it enters the furnance. It is
generally placed after the
economiser.
Function:
An economiser is a device in which
the waste heat of the flue gases is
utilised for heating the feed water.
