    There are several ways to classify boilers. Boilers can be classified based on whether the water or hot gases pass through tubes (water tube or fire tube), how water circulates within the boiler (natural or forced circulation), the application of the boiler (stationary, portable, locomotive, or marine), the position of the furnace (internal or external firing), and the pressure of the steam generated (low, medium, or high pressure). Boilers are also classified based on their position (horizontal, inclined, or vertical), and the material charged into the furnace (pulverized fuel, supercharged fuel, or fluidized bed).

    Topic: Classification of boiler

    Boilers Classification:
    There are a large number of boiler designs, but boilers can be classified according to the
    following criteria:

    1. According to Relative Passage of water and hot gases:

    1. Water Tube Boiler:


    A boiler in which the water flows through some small tubes which are surrounded
    by hot combustion gases, e.g., Babcock and Wilcox, Stirling, Benson boilers, etc.

    2. Fire-tube Boiler:
    The hot combustion gases pass through the boiler tubes, which are surrounded by
    water, e.g., Lancashire, Cochran, locomotive boilers, etc.
    2. According to Water Circulation Arrangement:

    1. Natural Circulation:
    Water circulates in the boiler due to density difference of hot and water,
    e.g., Babcock and Wilcox boilers, Lancashire boilers, Cochran, locomotive boilers,
    etc.

    2. Forced Circulation:
    A water pump forces the water along its path, therefore, the steam generation rate
    increases, Eg: Benson, La Mont, Velox boilers, etc.

    3. According to the Use:

    1. Stationary Boiler:

    These boilers are used for power plants or processes steam in plants.

    2. Portable Boiler:

    These are small units of mobile and are used for temporary uses at the sites.

    3. Locomotive:

    These are specially designed boilers. They produce steam to drive railway engines.

    4. Marine Boiler:

    These are used on ships.

    4. According to Position of the Boilers:

     Horizontal, inclined or vertical boilers

    5. According to the Position of Furnace:

    1. Internally fired:

    The furnace is located inside the shell, e.g., Cochran, Lancashire boilers, etc.

    2. Externally fired:

    The furnace is located outside the boiler shell, e.g., Babcock and Wilcox, Stirling
    boilers, etc.
    6. According to Pressure of steam generated:

     Low-pressure boiler:

    A boiler which produces steam at a pressure of 15-20 bar is called a low-pressure


    boiler. This steam is used for process heating.

     Medium-pressure boiler:

    It has a working pressure of steam from 20 bars to 80 bars and is used for power
    generation or combined use of power generation and process heating.

     High-pressure boiler:

    It produces steam at a pressure of more than 80 bars.

     Sub-critical boiler:

    If a boiler produces steam at a pressure which is less than the critical pressure, it is
    called as a subcritical boiler.

     Supercritical boiler:

    These boilers provide steam at a pressure greater than the critical pressure. These
    boilers do not have an evaporator and the water directly flashes into steam, and thus
    they are called once through boilers.

    7. According to charge in the furnace:

     Pulverized fuel,
     Supercharged fuel and
     Fluidized bed combustion boilers.
