Water-Tube Boiler
In this boiler, water flows inside the tubes and is heated by external combustion gases. Often used in high-pressure environments on modern ships.
Scotch Marine Boiler
A type of fire-tube boiler where the combustion chamber is lined with tubes causing the flue gas to make several passes, thereby heating the water more efficiently. It is commonly found on ships because of its compact size.
Forced Circulation Boiler
Employs a pump to force water through the tubes, allowing the boiler to operate at higher pressures. Ideal for ships that need a solid steam capacity without the size constraints.
Fire-Tube Boiler
This boiler type has gases flowing inside tubes that are submerged in water. Commonly found on older marine vessels due to simpler design.
Composite Boiler
Combines the features of fire-tube and water-tube boilers. It can use both the exhaust gases and oil firing to produce steam and is used on ships with space constraints.
Vertical Boiler
This type of boiler has a vertical cylindrical design. It is utilized for low steam demand and limited space ships.
Two-Drum Water-Tube Boiler
Has two drums with water tubes connecting them. The upper drum collects steam while the lower drum contains water. They're highly efficient and used in large cargo ships.
Exhaust Gas Boiler
Utilizes the exhaust heat from the ship's main diesel engine to generate steam. Primarily used to improve overall fuel efficiency.
Steam Atomization Boiler
This boiler uses a process where steam is used to atomize the fuel, improving combustion efficiency and reducing emissions. It's particularly useful for meeting strict environmental standards on ships.
Controlled Circulation Boiler
Incorporates a system of valves and pumps to control the circulation of water. It is designed for extremely high pressure and temperature applications, often found on modern steam ships and special vessels.
