Steam Drums
Steam drums are fabricated from this Matterial
Plate Steel
The journey combustion gasses take through a boiler is called what
The (Flue or Combustion) Gas path
A low pressure steam boiler is one which operates
at or below 103 kPa
The Flat ends of a firetube boiler Where the tubes are attached is often referred to as the
Tubesheet
A packaged watertube boiler with two " mud Drums " is called what
An "A" type Boiler
These "End Pieces" are welded onto the cylindrical part of the steam drum
What is The Head
In a Watertube boiler Which Side will see greater pressure the furnace or the Water side
The waterside of course.
The first boiler to have firetubes became known as the
HRT boiler
With regard to a steam boiler, the lettering "HRT" means
horizontal return tubular
In a Water tube boiler design, What side of the watertube is the combustion gas in
External side or outside
The most common type of welding used in Modern Steam drum manufacturing is
Submerged arc Welding
In a watertube boiler the furnace is shrouded by what
Water tubes
A steam boiler should be compact in design in order to
reduce building costs
A component used to increase the volume of the steam space in a locomotive boiler was the
Steam Dome
The upper drum on a watertube boiler is called the
Steam drum
Bent tube boiler designs Allows for the tubes to be attached Radially on what
the outside of the shell or drum
in a firetube boiler The furnace and combustion gas tubes, bust be designed to withstand to what type of pressure
external pressure
The lowest permissible water level of a power boiler is
50 mm below the lowest visible water line
The firetube boiler in the Lab here at NBCC Has how many passes
Four Passes
The Lower drum on a Water tube boiler is also called the
Mud drum 1 extra point if you can tell me Why?
in a longitudinal strait tube boiler The downcomer Feeds What ?
Cool Water to the front header
In a firetube boiler Adding more Flue gas paths may result in this negative effect
Corrosion at the smoke box and flue gas stack due to overcooling .
Safety, efficient operation, and economical fuel consumption
are
main considerations when designing boilers
A device used to prevent the carry-over of moisture with the steam of an HRT boiler is the
dry pipe
The use of bent tube boiler designs allows the furnace wall to be lined with tubes, thereby exposing more of the heating surface to
Radiant Heat
