Types of Steam Boiler:
Although one can divide steam boilers based on their size, principle, and application, their classification broadly depends on the type of fuels they use – Fluid Fuel Fired and Solid Fuel Fired.
1. Fluid Fuel Fired Steam Boiler:
The oil and gas-fired steam generators have a rugged boiler design required for fluid-based fuel. The steam boilers are highly efficient and usually come with an inbuilt economizer. Some of the top specifications of fluid fuel-fired steam boilers include:
Capacity: 500 to 1000 kg/hrSteam Pressure: 10 kg/cm2Efficiency: up to 90%Fuels: Natural Gas, Furnace oil, LPG, Biogas, etc.
