Which is a water tube boiler?

In a water tube boiler, the heat source is applied directly to the tubes that carry water. This design allows for greater heat transfer rates than fire tube boilers, which generally require multiple pass-throughs of flue gases before they can reach the economizer.

Water tube boilers are ideal for power generation, process heating and industrial heating. The type of steam generated in a water tube boiler is known as superheated steam because it has been expanded through a turbine or similar device and has been heated above its saturation point (the temperature at which vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure). Superheated steam has many uses besides driving turbines; it can be used in desalination plants or integrated into chemical processes to increase efficiency.

How does a water tube boiler work?

A water tube boiler is a closed vessel in which water is heated by the combustion of fuel. The hot exhaust gases pass through tubes located within the water-filled boiler. The heat transfers from the gases to the water, which then transfers that heat to an external circuit for use.

A water tube boiler is a heat exchanger, steam generator and vapor generator all in one unit. It consists of several vertical tubes arranged horizontally (or vice versa) with one end open to atmosphere while its other end is submerged in water contained within a pressure vessel (called a shell). Heat transfer takes place between hot gas at high pressure & cold liquid at room temperature via these tubes or flues.

What is difference between water tube and fire tube boiler?

Water tube boilers are often used in power plants to generate steam for electricity generation. The steam is used to run a turbine that turns an electric generator. After the steam runs through the turbine, it goes back to what's called a condenser, where it cools down and returns to its liquid state.

A water-tube boiler is composed of a bundle of tubes that contain water and steam. The heat source can be derived from various sources such as coal, oil, natural gas or a combination thereof. Water tubes are usually arranged in groups called "zones". A typical arrangement would have an upper zone with superheater elements (these elements are responsible for increasing the temperature of the steam), a lower zone for economizer sections and one or more middle zones containing reheaters or economizers.

Fire-tube boilers work by firing off gas or fuel into an enclosed chamber where it mixes with air and then burns up producing high temperatures which then heats up water into hot gasses (steam). These hot gasses then expand outwards towards another chamber containing cold water causing rapid expansion with pressure build-up until enough pressure is reached at which point they're able to push through turbines connected downstream where they'll spin generators creating electricity!

The fire tube boiler can also be divided into several zones depending on the placement of its components such as fuel nozzles, combustion chambers and ash pits. For example, there may be one or two combustion chambers at each end of the furnace with one or two furnaces between them which allows for better air circulation within them all.

How much is the water tube boiler?

The cost of a water tube boiler depends on the size of your home, where you live and which brand you choose to buy. The larger the size of your home and the more energy efficient it is, then the more expensive it is going to be.

The cost of a water tube boiler also depends on what brand you choose. Some brands are known for being cheaper than others but still offer great quality products with excellent customer service if anything goes wrong with them later down the line!

For example, if you want to use an 80-gallon water tube boiler that costs $2,000 for heating your home or business, then you can expect your total monthly energy bills to be about $60 per month. This number does not include any additional fees for installation or maintenance. On the other hand, if you want to buy a 100-gallon water tube boiler for heating purposes at $3,000; this means that your total monthly energy bill will be around $80 each month (after installation and maintenance).
