    This document classifies and describes different types of boilers. It discusses classifications based on orientation (horizontal, vertical, inclined), tube configuration (fire tube, water tube), firing method (externally fired, internally fired), circulation (forced, natural), pressure (high, low), portability (stationary, portable), and number of tubes (single tube, multi-tube). Specific boiler examples are provided for each classification. Locomotive and Cochran boilers are also described in more detail, highlighting their key features, advantages, and disadvantages.

    CLASSIFICATION OF

    BOILER , COCHRAN
    BOILER,LOCOMOTIVE
    BOILER
    ANJAN : 18BCH006
    PRAYAG : 18BCH046
    VIVEK : 18BCH065
    CLASSIFICATION OF BOILER
    Horizontal, vertical or inclined boiler
    Fire tube and water tube
    Externally fired and internally fired
    Forced circulation and natural circulation
    Higher pressure and low pressure boilers
    Stationary and portable
    Single tube and multi tube boiler
    1.Horizontal, Vertical or Inclined Boiler.

    If the axis of the boiler is horizontal,the boiler is called horizontal, if the axis is
    vertical, it is called verticalboiler and if the axis is inclined it is called as inclined
    boiler.The parts of horizontal boiler is can be inspected and repaired easily but it
    occupies more space.The vertical boiler occupies less floor area.

    2.Fire Tube and Water Tube

    In the fire boilers, the hot gases are inside the tubes and the water surrounds the
    tubes.
    Examples: Cochran, Lancashire and Locomotive boilers.
    In the water tube boilers, the water is inside the tubes and hot gases surround them.
    Examples: Babcock and Wilcox,
    Stirling, Yarrow boiler etc.
    3.Externally Fired and Internally Fired

    The boiler is known as externally fired if the fire is outside the shell.
    Examples: Babcock and Wilcox boiler,Stirling boiler etc.
    In case of internally fired boilers, the furnace is located inside the shell.
    Examples: Cochran, Lancashire boiler etc
    4.Forced circulation and Natural Circulation

    In forced circulation type of boilers, the circulation of water is done by a


    forced pump.
    Examples: Velox,Lamomt,Benson Boiler etc.
    In natural circulation type of boilers, circulation of water in the boiler takes
    place due to natural convention currents produced by the application of
    heat.
    Examples: Lancashire, Babcock and Wilcox boiler etc.

    5.Higher Pressure and Low Pressure Boilers


    The boiler which produce steam at pressures of 80 bar and above are
    called high pressure boilers.
    Examples: Babcock and Wilcox, Velox,Lamomt,Benson Boiler etc.
    The boilers which produce steam at pressure below 80 bar are called low
    pressure boilers.
    Examples: Cochran, Cornish, Lancashire and Locomotive boiler etc.
    6. Stationary and portable

    • primarily, the boilers are classified as either stationary or


    mobile.
    • Stationary boilers are used for power plant steam, for central
    station utility
    power plants, for plant process steam etc.
    • Mobile boilers or portable boilers include locomotive type, and
    other small
    units for temporary use at sites.

    7. Single tube and multi tube boiler

    the fire tube boilers are classified as single tube and multi-tube
    boilers,
    depending upon whether the fire tube is one or more than one.
    Examples: cornish ,simple vertical boiler are the single tube boiler
    and rest
    of the boilers are multi-tube boiler
    LOCOMOTIVE BOILER
    Horizontal
    Multitubular
    Fire tube
    Internaly fired
    Portable type
    Natural circulation bolier
    Low pressure
    ADVANTAGES
    Large steam generation rate per unit heating
    Surface area

    Compact and portable

    Can satisfy sudden and fluctuating demands


    DISADVANTAGES
    Scale and corrosion occur

    Difficult to clean some water spaces

    Leakage at tube joints


    COCHRAN BOILER
    Vertical
    Multitubular
    Internaly fired
    Natural circulation boiler
    Fire tube boiler
    Low pressure
    Poratable type
    Soild as well as liquid fuel can be burnt
    ADVANTAGES
    Low initail installation cost

    It requires less floor area

    Easy to opearate and handle

    Easy transportation

    Use all types of fuels


    DISADVANTAGES
    Low rate of steam generation

    Inspection and maintenance is difficult

    Limited pressure range

    More space required
