What is a Boiler?
A water containing vessel in which
water is heated under pressure
Transfer heat from a fuel source (oil,
gas, coal) into steam
The steam or hot fluid circulates out
of the boiler for use in various
process or heating appliances.
HOW DOES A BOILER

WORK
Closed
system: when 100% of the

steam produced is returned to be
reused.
Examples of closed systems are
close steam heating, hot water
heating, and one-pipe systems.
Open system: a system that does not
return the condensate.

SUPERHEATER COILS
Super heater coils are used in a boiler to generate

saturated steam. The super heater coils are specially used
inBoilersof Power plant.
We manufacture Super heater coils in various grades of
Alloy steel T1, T9, T11, T22, T9 & T91 and in stain less
steel tubes SS 304, SS310, SS316 and SS 347H with or
without support & Header as per customers drawing.
ECONOMISER COILS
Economizer coils are used in downstream of

Boiler bank to preheat the feed water
absorbing heat from hot exhaust gases.
Economizers are always water tube type
WATER WALL TUBES

These
are tubes in the Boiler where

water is evaporated to steam and
are also called Steam Generating
Tubes. These Tubes also form the
Walls of the Boiler and are hence
called Water Walls or Water Wall
Panels.
Check valve
Acheck valve,clack valve,non-return

valveorone-way valveis avalvethat normally
allows fluid(liquidorgas) to flow through it in
only one direction.
Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they
have two openings in the body, one for fluid to
enter and the other forfluidto leave.
HEAT EXCHANGERS
For pressure vessels and reaction vessels in M.S., Al,

Cupronickel, etc., Tube Weld employs the latest
techniques for expanding tube ends into tube
sheets. High pressure tests are always carried out on
these heat exchangers before they leave the factory.
Brass, copper, M.S. and S.S. tube sheets are used.
HEADERS
Headersform
an important part of
all types of boilers. Steam from the
generating tubes is collected in
headers which are therefore always
under pressure. This pressure may
vary from 300 psi to 2000 psi.

Fire Tube Boiler

Water Tube Boiler
Packaged Boiler
Stoker Fired Boiler
Pulverized Fuel Boiler
Waste Heat Boiler
Fire Tube Boilers

The combustion gases pass
inside boiler tubes, and heat is
transferred to water on the shell
side.
Water Tube Boilers
Used for high steam demand and

pressure requirements
Capacity range of 4,500 120,000

kg/hour
Boiler water passes through the tubes

while the exhaust gases remain in the
shell side, passing over the tube
surfaces.
The features of water tube boilers are:
Forced, induced and balanced draft
provisions help to improve
combustion efficiency.
Less tolerance for water quality calls
for water treatment plant.
Higher thermal efficiency levels are
possible

BOILER EFFICENCY
CALCULATION
1)
DIRECT METHOD:
The energy gain of the

working fluid (water and steam)
is compared with the energy
content of the boiler fuel.
2) INDIRECT METHOD:
The efficiency is the
different between losses
and energy input

hg -the enthalpy of saturated
