Application of Smoke Tube Boiler

Smoke tube boiler refers to smoke or heat flowing through boiler tubes and the water surrounds outside of the tubes to be heated and turned into steam. The boiler is also named fire tube boiler, which is mainly used for industries that need not super-heated steam for production process.

Operation of smoke tube boiler

In smoke tube boiler, the fuel is burnt inside a furnace. The hot gases produced in the furnace then passes through the smoke tubes. The fire tubes are immersed in water inside the main vessel of the boiler. As the hot gases are passed through these tubes, the heat energy of the gasses is transferred to the water surrounds them. As a result steam is generated in the water and naturally comes up and is stored upon the water in the same vessel of smoke tube boiler.

Features of smoke tube boiler

1.This style of boiler is relatively cheap, supplied as a packaged unit and requires less stringent feed water conditioning and level control.
2.Smoke tube boiler is compact in construction and a large volume of water and steam and good adaptability to changes in load.
3.It is suitable for industries which don't need high pressure, like textile, food plant, heating.
4.The pressure applications up to 2.5MPa, capacity of smoke tube boilers range1-30 tons/h.
