In this article we will discuss about the design of once through boiler. Also learn about the advantages and benefits of once through boiler. Owing to the sharply increasing costs of construction and fuel it becomes essential for the designers to economise on the installation cost and to increase fuel efficiency in the new stations by using modern sophisticated technology. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of velox boiler which is used in steam power plants. Also learn about the advantages and benefits of velox boiler. It is a well-known fact that when the gas velocity exceeds the sound-velocity, the heat is transferred from the gas at a much higher rate than rates achieved with sub-sonic flow. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the design of LaMont boiler with the help of a suitable diagram. This boiler works on a forced circulation and the circulation is maintained by a centrifugal pump, driven by a steam turbine using steam from the boiler. For emergency an electrically driven pump is also fitted. Fig. 12.22 shows a LaMont steam [...]
