Introduction
A steam generator or steam boilers is, usually, a closed
vessel made of steel. Its function is to transfer the heat
produced by the combustion of fuel (solid, liquid or
gaseous) to the water and ultimately to generate steam.

Use:
 To rotate turbine
 Cotton mills, Sugar factories etc.
 To produced hot water

Important terms
 Boiler Shell: It is made of steel plates bent into
cylindrical form and pivoted or welded together. A boiler
shell should have sufficient capacity to contain water and
steam.
 Combustion chamber: It is the space, generally below
the boiler shell, meant for burning fuel in order to produce
steam.
 Grate: It is a platform, in the combustion chamber, upon
which fuel is burnt.
 Furnace: It is the space, above the grate and below the
boiler shell, in which the fuel is actually burnt.

Important terms

 Heating Surface: It is the part of boiler surface, which is


exposed to the fire.
Mountings: These are the fittings which are mounted on
the boiler for its proper functioning. Such as water level
indicator, pressure gauge, safety valve ete.
 Accessories: These are the devices, which form an
integral part of the boiler, but are not mounted on it. Such
as superheater, economiser, feed pump etc.

Essentials of a good steam boilers
 Maximum quantity of steam with minimum fuel consumption
 Economical to install
 Able to meet the fluctuation of load
 Capable of quick starting
 Light in weight
 Occupy a small space
 Joints should be few and accessible for inspection
 Tubes should not accumulate soot or water deposit
 Comply with safety regulation

Selection of a steam boilers
The selection of type and size of steam boiler depends upon
the following factors:
 Power required
Rate of steam generation
Geographical position
Fuel and water available
Type of fuel
Probable permanency of the station
Probable load factor
