About: Flued boiler

An Entity of Type: Vehicle104524313, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A shell or flued boiler is an early and relatively simple form of boiler used to make steam, usually for the purpose of driving a steam engine. The design marked a transitional stage in boiler development, between the early haystack boilers and the later multi-tube fire-tube boilers. A flued boiler is characterized by a large cylindrical boiler shell forming a tank of water, traversed by one or more large flues containing the furnace. These boilers appeared around the start of the 19th century and some forms remain in service today. Although mostly used for static steam plants, some were used in early steam vehicles, railway locomotives and ships.

  • Plamencový kotel vznikne montáží plamence do vnitřku válcového kotle. V plamenci je obvykle umístěno topeniště. Plamencový kotel je jedním z prvních významnějších konstrukčních zdokonalení válcového kotle.Vzniká vytvořením válcové dutiny uvnitř kotle. Osa této dutiny je rovnoběžná s osou kotle. Tato dutina se nazývá plamenec. Plamenec buď prochází celou délkou kotle, nebo je připevněn jen k jedné straně kotle a na druhé straně je zakončen trubkovnicí s kouřovými trubkami procházejícími zbytkem délky kotle. Plamencový kotel zajišťuje podobně jako skříňový kotel prakticky úplné obalení topeniště vodou, a tak minimalizuje tepelné ztráty. Byl velmi oblíbený až do začátku 20. století pro svou výrobní nenáročnost ve srovnání se skříňovým kotlem. (cs)
  • A shell or flued boiler is an early and relatively simple form of boiler used to make steam, usually for the purpose of driving a steam engine. The design marked a transitional stage in boiler development, between the early haystack boilers and the later multi-tube fire-tube boilers. A flued boiler is characterized by a large cylindrical boiler shell forming a tank of water, traversed by one or more large flues containing the furnace. These boilers appeared around the start of the 19th century and some forms remain in service today. Although mostly used for static steam plants, some were used in early steam vehicles, railway locomotives and ships. Flued boilers were developed in an attempt to raise steam pressures and improve engine efficiency. Early haystack designs of Watt's day were mechanically weak and often presented an unsupported flat surface to the fire. Boiler explosions, usually beginning with failure of this firebox plate, were common. It was known that an arched structure was stronger than a flat plate and so a large circular flue tube was placed inside the boiler shell. The fire itself was on an iron grating placed across this flue, with a shallow ashpan beneath to collect the non-combustible residue. This had the additional advantage of wrapping the heating surface closely around the furnace, but that was a secondary benefit. Although considered as low-pressure (perhaps 25 psi (1.7 atm)) today, this was regarded as high pressure compared to its predecessors. This increase in pressure was a major factor in making locomotives (i.e. small self-moving vehicles) such as Trevithick's into a practical proposition. (en)
