boilers, cast iron boilers, forced/ natural/induced boilers and condensing boilers. Modern condensing boiler systems offer a substantial efficiency improvement from traditional system types as they recover heat previously lost in the exhaust. Depending on the existing system and factors such as fuel type, age and condition of the incumbent
Read MoreHeat sources. In a fossil fuel power plant using a steam cycle for power generation, the primary heat source will be combustion of coal, oil, or natural gas.In some cases byproduct fuel such as the carbon monoxide rich offgasses of a coke battery can be burned to heat a boiler; biofuels such as bagasse, where economically available, can also be used.. In a nuclear power plant, boilers called
Read MoreA boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water.Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (7–2,000 kPa or 1–290 psi) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a steam generator.
Read More"Fossil fuel-fired steam generator" means a furnace or boiler used in the process of burning a fossil fuel for the primary purpose of producing steam by heat transfer. (bb) "Foundry cupola" means a stack-type furnace used for melting of metals, consisting of, but not limited to, furnace proper, tuyeres, fans or blowers, tapping spout, charging
Read MoreThe posterior part is exposed to the atmosphere. This leads to the increased radiation losses, as the radiant heat is lost to the atmosphere instead of going to the water as in wet back boilers. Earlier generation boilers used to be dry back. Thus wet back boilers …

Specialised boilers and furnaces: (a) Ignifluid/fluidized bed boilers (b) Flameless furnaces and continuous pusher type furnaces (c) Fluidized bed type heat treatment furnaces : 80. 80. 40 (d) High efficiency boilers (thermal efficiency higher than 75 per cent in case of coal fired and 80 per cent in case of oil/gas fired boilers)
