Classification of Boilers:
Boilers may be classified according to the following-
1. 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 names-
i) Horizontal return tubular
ii) Locomotive fire box
iii) Scotch marine and,
iv) Vertical tubular
STEAM BOILERS, MOUNTINGS &
ACCESSORIES
b) Water tube Boiler:
The water passes through the tubes and the hot gases
produced by combustion of fuel, flow outside. This
type of Boilers designated by the following
common names:
i) Babcock and Wilcox Boiler (straight but inclined
tubes which connect the headers).
ii) Stirling Boiler (multitubular boiler having bent
tubes that connect boiler drums to headers).
CONSTRUCTION OF THE DRUMS OF
WATER TUBE BOILERS
1. Stirling Boiler
CONSTRUCTION OF WATER TUBE
BOILERS
1. Stirling Boiler
• Water flows downwards from the mud drum to
headers feeding the tubes lining the walls of the
radiant surface
• The low density steam-water mixture rises up to the
steam drum at the upper side
• The steam is separated and flows to the central
drum, where it is removed
• Feed water enters the drum at the left and mixes
with the saturated liquid in the drum
• The cooled liquid flows down to mud drum

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

2. PRESSURE GAUGE
(Bourdon’s)
a) Records gauge pressure
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
FEED CHECK VALVE
1. Feed check valve
works as NRV (Non-
return valve).
2. Prevents the back
flow of water from
the boiler when the
feed water pump is
either not working or
in case of its failure.
BLOW-OFF COCK
FUSIBLE PLUG
• Plugs P and R are
made up of Gun
Metal.
• Plug S is made up
of Copper.
• Plug R is screwed to
the plug P.
• Plug S is locked into
plug R by a metal
like tin or lead.
MANHOLE
