SL. NO. 1.0 TYPE Smoke Tube Steam Boiler with Reversal Chamber consists of shell, made of boiler quality plates. Inside this shell, furnace, made boiler quality plates, is fitted. A nest of flue tubes surrounds this furnace. Water outside the furnace & flue tubes receives heat to raise the temperature of water. The water near the furnace surface and near the flue tube surfaces gets heated and moves upwards. The cooler water moves downwards. The burner is fitted on the front refractory door. The flue gases reserve inside the reversal chamber into a set of flue tubes forming the first convection pass and further reserve inside the front refractory / ceramic wool lined door to another set of flue tubes that formed the second convection pass. Thus there is one pass inside the furnace and two convection passes through the flue tubes. Mountings on this shell include stop, drain & safety valves, level gauges, level controller etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF BOILER OFFER OF THE FIRM

DESIGN & SAFETY The heart of a shell type boiler is the furnace. A higher furnace volume will result in lower volumetric heat release rate that ensures combustion, smooth operation and long life. In any shell type boiler, the size and the number of tubes play a major role in optimizing the efficiency and the installation cost. Due to this, heat transfer surface per sec. does not signify anything since the way the tubes are arranged and distributed plays a major role. While sizing the tubes, the major factor to be taken into account is the resistance to the gas flow through the tubes. Hence tubes should be designed to achieve maximum back-pressure of gas flow.

2.1

Fusible Plugs Fusible plug is the mechanical safety device similar to the safety valve on the domestic pressure cooker, which melts under less or no water conditions. These plugs are made of alloys of the metals, which withstand the pressure, but melts at a higher temperature than that of steam temperature at operating pressures. They are provided one each on the furnace & tube plate. In the event of no water conditions in the boiler & burner while in operation, these plugs melts & allows steam to enter in the furnace, thereby stopping the burner. This feature makes the boiler absolutely safe; even all the electrical safeties are failed. Contd..P/2
