Fire tube waste heat recovery boilers were used extensively for industrial power generation till late 18th century.They are no longer used for large utility power plants.However,they are in still use in some industries for producing saturated steam with upper limit of pressure to 18 bar and capacity of 6.3 kg/s. Interestingly, general design of fire tube boiler has not changed much for last three decades.
In fire tube waste heat recovery boilers the flue gas products of combustion flow through boiler tubes surrounded by water. The heat transferred through the walls of the tubes to the surrounding water generates steam.
The flue gases are cooled as they flow through the tubes, transferring their heat to water. Therefore, the cooler the flue gases, the greater the amount of heat transferred.Cooling the flue gas is a function of heat conductivity of the tube material,the temperature difference between the flue gases and water in the boiler, the heat transfer area, the time of contact of the flue gases with tube wall etc.
Fire tube waste heat recovery boilers used today evolved from the earlier designs of a spherical or cylindrical pressure vessel mounted over the fire with flame and hot gases around the boiler shell.Installing longitudinal tubes in the pressure vessel and passing flue gas through the tubes have improved this obsolete approach.This improves the heat transfer coefficient and increases the heat transfer area. The results are the two variations of the horizontal return tubular boiler (HRT).
A parallel evaluation of fire tube waste heat recovery boiler is the locomotive boiler with the furnace surrounded by a heat transfer area and a heat transfer area added by using horizontal tubes.
1. Low first cost
2. Reliability in operation
3. No need for skilled labour
4. Less draught is necessary
5. Quick response to load change: fire tube boiler is having large water storage and thus can meet sudden load demands with only small pressure change
1.Good for small steam requirement
2.Good for community hot water/domestic hot water generation
3.It must be used when gas pressure is high
4.Useful even when the gas is corrosive, the shell side is then free from corrosion
5.All the tubes are immerged in water
6.Limited applications- In industrial plants it is used to produce saturated steam. Scotch Marine boilers have been using for waste heat recovery.
7.Recommended to use at a pressure below 18 bar and steam flow rate of 6.2 kg/s.
