  1. Boilers Presented by: Lisa Chang Objective: To describe and explain the boilers’ functions and the two main types of boilers.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Fire Tube Boilers • The combustion gases pass inside boiler tubes, and heat is transferred to water on the shell side.

  5. Water Tube Boilers • Boiler water passes through the tubes while the exhaust gases remain in the shell side, passing over the tube surfaces.

  6. Conclusion • Boilers are classified into fire tube or water tube boilers depending on whether the heat source is inside or outside the tubes. • The goal in both cases is to maximize the heat transfer between the water and the hot gases heating it.
