Fire Tube Boiler

About Fire Tube Boiler

A Fire Tube Boiler is a type of boiler that features the passage of hot gases through one or more tubes running through a sealed container of water. They are commonly found in industrial settings and are known for their efficiency in converting water into steam. The heat of the gases is transferred through the walls of the tubes by thermal conduction, heating the water and ultimately creating steam. The furnace is the combustion chamber where fuel (usually coal, gas, or oil) is burned, producing hot gases. These hot gases then flow through the fire tubes. Fire Tube Boiler has the advantage of being relatively simple in design and is typically used for low to medium pressure applications.
