Boiler
Thermal Oil Heater
Heats thermal fluid rather than producing steam; included for comparison with boilers.
Open lesson →Boiler Types
Study fire-tube, water-tube, high-pressure, fluidised-bed, waste-heat, electric and package boilers.
Boiler
Marine Composite Boiler
Combines oil firing with exhaust-gas heat recovery for shipboard steam generation.
Open lesson →Boiler
Once-Through Coil Boiler
Uses a small water inventory in a continuous coil for rapid steam generation.
Open lesson →Boiler
Black-Liquor Recovery Boiler
Recovers chemicals and energy from pulp-mill black liquor.
Open lesson →Boiler
Sulphur-Recovery Waste-Heat Boiler
Recovers high-temperature heat downstream of a sulphur-recovery reaction furnace.
Open lesson →Boiler
Heat Recovery Steam Generator
Produces steam from gas-turbine exhaust in combined-cycle or cogeneration plants.
Open lesson →Boiler
Waste-Heat Boiler
Recovers heat from industrial exhaust gases without direct primary firing.
Open lesson →Boiler
Bagasse-Fired Boiler
Uses sugarcane bagasse, typically in sugar and cogeneration plants.
Open lesson →Boiler
Spreader-Stoker Boiler
Distributes fuel above a grate so finer particles burn in suspension and larger particles burn on the grate.
Open lesson →Boiler
Travelling-Grate Boiler
Uses a moving grate to carry fuel through drying, ignition, burning and burnout zones.
Open lesson →Boiler
Stoker-Fired Boiler
Burns solid fuel on a mechanically or manually supported grate.
Open lesson →Boiler
Pressurised FBC Boiler
Fluidised-bed combustion under pressure, generally integrated with gas-turbine systems.
Open lesson →Boiler
CFBC Boiler
Circulating fluidised-bed boiler with solids separation and recirculation.
Open lesson →Boiler
AFBC Boiler
Atmospheric fluidised-bed boiler using suspended solid particles for efficient combustion.
Open lesson →Boiler
Ultra-Supercritical Boiler
Advanced high-temperature and high-pressure steam generator for improved cycle efficiency.
Open lesson →Boiler
Supercritical Boiler
Once-through boiler operating above the critical pressure of water.
Open lesson →Boiler

High-pressure boiler using a primary fluid circuit to generate steam in a secondary circuit.
Open lesson →Boiler
Velox Boiler
High-velocity pressurised combustion boiler using a gas turbine-driven compressor.
Open lesson →Boiler
Loeffler Boiler
Uses superheated steam to evaporate feedwater and reduce salt deposition in radiant tubes.
Open lesson →Boiler
