Sensible Heat
Latent Heat
Heat Energy – Sensible Heat
• Sensible Heat is the amount of Heat Energy
required to raise the temperature of water
from 0°C to the boiling point (saturated
liquid) at a given pressure
–Sensible Heat raises the temperature of
the water and can be sensed with a
thermometer.
Heat Energy – Latent Heat
• Latent Heat is the amount of Heat
Energy required to transform water at
the boiling point (saturated liquid) to
steam.
–Adding Latent Heat does not raise the
temperature – saturated liquid and
steam have the same temperature for
a given pressure.
What is Steam Boiler
means any closed vessel having holding capacity 22.75 liters and pressure
3.5 Kg/cm2 & above be used for steam generation under pressure, having
installed mountings.
Steam pipes means pipes through which steam is conveyed from boiler to
the point of use, when steam pressure is of 3.5 kg/cm2 & above along with
connected fittings.
Boilers Classification
Boilers are classified under two categories:
• Fire tube or “fire in tube” boilers
• Water tube or “water in tube” boilers
Fire tube or “fire in tube” boilers:- Long steel tubes through which
the hot gasses pass from a furnace and around. which the water to be
converted into steam. Fire tube boilers have a lower initial cost, are
more fuel efficient and easy to operate, but they are limited due to
lower capacity of 27 T/hr and a maximum pressures of 27 kg/cm2.
The large diameter cylinders used in the construction of fire tube
boilers effectively limits their operating pressure & out put.
If higher capacity is required multiple installation is a must
FIRE TUBE BOILER
FIRE TUBE BOILER
WATER TUBE OR “WATER IN TUBE” BOILERS
The water passing through the tubes and the hot gasses passing
outside the tubes. These boilers can be of single- or multiple-
drum type and can be built to any steam capacity and
pressure, have higher efficiency than fire tube boilers.
Water Tube Boiler Classification:
Low pressure boiler -Pressure up to 21 kg/ cm2.
Medium pressure boiler -Pressure 21 to 45 kg/ cm2.
High pressure boiler - Pressure above 45 kg/ cm2.
Supercritical pressure boiler - Pressure 225 kg/ cm2.

F is Feed water TDS (PPm)
S is Steam generation rate (Kg/h)
B is required boiler TDS (PPm)
