  • Module BESTT MS1
    Module BESTT MS1 Marine Steam Boiler Types, Construction and Maintenance. Aim This unit introduces learners to the wide variety of fuels which may be encountered in steam launches and small steam ships operating on inland waterways or sheltered coastal waters. The range of types of boilers is explained. In each case, the benefits of each fuel type or boiler type are explored. The reasons for caution when conducting external work on old boilers are explained. INTRODUCTION Boiler types considered Horizontal Fire Tube boilers (including locomotive type) Vertical Fire Tube boilers Horizontal Drum Water Tube boilers Vertical Drum Water Tube boilers Single coil (or Flash) boilers Construction, design and general arrangements Heat transfer Cleaning Considerations for boiler choice and design Options for materials and insulations Boiler cladding materials The sheer variety of boiler types used in marine applications is wider than anything we will encounter for railway locomotives or in road steam applications. Although fire tube boilers from earliest days have been the norm for railway locomotives, water tube boilers could also very occasionally be found in locomotives. The well-known Sentinel shunters had water tube boilers a little bigger but otherwise similar to the company’s steam wagon boilers, and Sir Nigel Gresley on the LNER experimented with a ‘Yarrow’ type boiler but dropped the idea and fitted Britain’s only 4-6-4 express engine with a traditional loco boiler. For shipping, various forms of the classic marine multi-furnace fire tube ‘Scotch’ boiler was a norm to the last, and vertical fire tube types were a standard for small steam launches, but alongside these a huge range of highly efficient water tube types was under constant development resulting in many different configurations.

  • 150 Years of the Somerset & Dorset Railway
    BACKTRACK 22-1 2008:Layout 1 21/11/07 14:29 Page 25 S&DR 2-4-0 No.9 at Evercreech station c1870. Built by George England & Company at Hatcham Iron Works, New Cross, London, in 1863 at a cost of £2,550 each, Nos.9 and 10 differed from the original series of eight locomotives in that they had wider cylinders, a longer wheelbase, a larger raised firebox and, most noticeably, they were blessed with a spacious cab which offered protection against the elements. The original Somerset Central line was broad gauge and worked by the Bristol & Eexeter Railway, but when the SCR headed toward standard gauge amalgamation with the Dorset Central the BER forced the SCR to lay a broad gauge third rail to Bruton. This picture clearly shows that the third rail had since been removed — the last BER train ran in 1868 — and that point rodding had taken its place, but it is difficult to discern whether the remaining rails rest upon a baulk road or cross- sleepers. The tracks to the right look to be converging, thereby suggesting that a middle road was in existence. Station staff and crew pose by the engine positioned (on the wrong road) beside the store and up platform shelter, possibly during shunting duties given that the engine displays the head code for goods working. Positioned by the smokebox is one of the re-railing jacks whilst the second jack lies 115050 YEARSYEARS OFOF THETHE between the rails, hinting at a possible mishap.

  • Superheated Steam Boiler
    A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications.

Stainless steel is virtually prohibited (by the ASME Boiler Code) for use in wetted parts of modern boilers, but is used often in superheater sections that will not be exposed to liquid boiler water. In live steam models, copper or brass is often used because it is more easily fabricated in smaller size boilers. Historically, copper was often used for fireboxes (particularly for steam locomotives ), because of its better formability and higher thermal conductivity; however, in more recent times, the high price of copper often makes this an uneconomic choice and cheaper substitutes (such as steel) are used instead. For much of the Victorian "age of steam", the only material used for boilermaking was the highest grade of wrought iron, with assembly by rivetting . This iron was often obtained from specialist ironworks , such as at Cleator Moor (UK), noted for the high quality of their rolled plate and its suitability for high-reliability use in critical applications, such as high-pressure boilers.

Stainless steel, especially of the austenitic types, is not used in wetted parts of boilers due to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. However, ferritic stainless steel is often used in superheater sections that will not be exposed to boiling water, and electrically-heated stainless steel shell boilers are allowed under the European "Pressure Equipment Directive" for production of steam for sterilizers and disinfectors. In live steam models, copper or brass is often used because it is more easily fabricated in smaller size boilers.

Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (1–300 psi/0.069–20.684 bar; 6.895–2,068.427 kPa), but at pressures above this it is more usual to speak of a steam generator. An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine A boiler or steam generator is used wherever a source of steam is required. The form and size depends on the application: mobile steam engines such as steam locomotives, portable engines and steam-powered road vehicles typically use a smaller boiler that forms an integral part of the vehicle; stationary steam engines, industrial installations and power stations will usually have a larger separate steam generating facility connected to the point-of-use by piping.

  • Title of the Thesis
    A Comparative Study of Different Advance Control Techniques for Steam Drum Level Control of Boiler A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of degree of Master of Engineering in Electronic Instrumentation and Control Submitted By Abhinav Gautam Roll No: 800951001 Under the Guidance of Ms. Gagandeep Kaur Dr. Yaduvir Singh Assistant Professor Associate Professor Department of Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering Thapar University (Established under the section 3 of UGC act, 1956) Patiala, 147004, Punjab, India July 2011 II Thapar University, Patiala III ABSTRACT The largest boilers could justify sophisticated boiler controls earlier, but now high fuel costs and occasional limited fuel availability make it necessary to improve boiler efficiency and minimize costly steam losses and disturbances. Drum level controls have become more important, as the boiler loads are being varied to meet needs, rather than operating at full capacity and wasting fuel and steam. The effects of feed pressure surges and steam flow on drum level dictate more complex controls. This work provides the control of steam drum level using advance control techniques like fractional order PID controller technique and fuzzy logic PID controller technique, to get better response from the system. The control system contains two loops, a feedforward control loop using the steam flow as disturbance signal and cascade control loop using drum water level as measuring signal in primary loop and feedwater pressure as measuring signal in secondary loop. The feedforward controller output signal is summed along with the output of the primary controller to establish the set point for the secondary controller.
