AUXILIARIES
STEAM GENERATOR:
It is a complex combination of economizer, boiler drum, super
heater, reheater & air pre heater. In addition it has various
auxiliaries, such as stokers, pulverizes, burners, fans, emission
control equipment, stack & ash handling equipment.
Three Generations of Boiler
Shell type boiler

Fire tube boiler

Water tube boiler
Types of Boiler
Depending on application there are 3 types of
boiler-
Utility or power boilers
Industrial boilers
Others (Boiler used for locomotive steam
engines, Marine boilers etc.)
PRINCIPLES OF STEAM GENERATION
Various pressure parts of Boiler
The various pressure parts of the boiler is
as follows,
1)Economiser.
2)Boiler Drum.
3)Super Heaters.
4)Reheater.
ECONOMISER:- Economizer are provided to extract the
heat from flue gases & add it as either sensible heat alone or
sensible heat & latent heat to the feed water . Basically it is
nothing but a tube-&-shell type heat exchanger.
BOILER DRUM :-
The drum is found in that type of boiler which
operated under sub-critical pressure. They are used to separate
the steam from saturated liquid & vapour mixture. Generally it
supply dry steam to the super heater bubble less water to the
down comer
The functions of the boiler drum as follows,
1)To provide the necessary space for separation of steam from mixture of
steam & water.
2)To house the equipment needed for purification of steam after separation from
steam-water mixture.
