Water Tube and Fire Tube Boiler: A Comparison of Their Features and Applications

Part 1: What are water tube and fire tube boilers and why do you need them?

Water tube and fire tube boilers are two common types of boilers that use different methods to heat water and generate steam for various industrial processes. Water tube boilers have water flowing inside the tubes, while fire tube boilers have hot gases flowing outside the tubes. Both types of boilers have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific needs and preferences of the customers.

Water tube and fire tube boilers are widely used in various industries, such as textile, paper, food, chemical, and power generation. They can provide high-quality steam for different purposes, such as drying, sterilizing, heating, and electricity generation. Water tube and fire tube boilers can also use different types of fuels, such as biomass, coal, gas, and oil, to meet the diverse needs of different industries.

Part 2: Features of ZOZEN’s water tube and fire tube boilers

Water tube and fire tube boilers have different features and characteristics, which affect their performance, efficiency, and safety. Here are some of the main features of ZOZEN’s water tube and fire tube boilers:

2.1 Fire tube boilers:

ZOZEN’s Fire tube boilers have a simple structure, compact size, easy installation, low production and construction costs. They also have a low failure rate, easy maintenance, low maintenance and operation costs.ZOZEN’s Fire tube boilers use high efficient threaded smoke tubes, which prolong the staying time of flue gas and effectively improve the thermal efficiency. ZOZEN’s Fire tube boilers also use a large-diameter corrugated furnace, which reduces the thermal stress of the boilers. With sufficient steam storage space and heating surface, fire tube boilers can produce high thermal power and high quality steam. Some of the advantages of ZOZEN’s fire tube boilers are:

– Suitable for low pressure and low capacity applications

– Less sensitive to water quality and impurities

– Less risk of explosion and leakage

– Easier to clean and inspect

2.2 Water tube boilers:

ZOZEN’s Water tube boilers have a large capacity, which can withstand higher pressure and temperature. The maximum capacity can reach 110 t/h. Water tube boilers can produce steam quickly and produce saturated or superheated steam according to actual requirements. Meanwhile, with good adjustment abilities, water tube boilers can precisely track load fluctuations. The heating area of water tube boilers is the surface of tubes placed in the furnace instead of the boiler drum, which has good heat transfer effects and safety performance. ZOZEN’s water tube boilers adopt membrane water wall structure, which increases the rigidity and tightness of the furnace. The reasonable design of the size of drum and steam-water separator can increase the steam quality. Some of the advantages of ZOZEN’s water tube boilers are:

– Suitable for high pressure and high capacity applications

– Higher thermal efficiency and lower fuel consumption

– More flexible and adaptable to different fuels and conditions

– Easier to control and regulate

Part 3: Applications of ZOZEN’s water tube and fire tube boilers

Water tube and fire tube boilers have different applications and suitability, depending on the specific needs and preferences of the customers. Here are some of the main applications of water tube and fire tube boilers:

3.1 Fire tube boilers:

Fire tube boilers are mainly used for low pressure and low capacity applications, such as heating, small industrial processes. ZOZEN’s fire tube boilers have WNS series oil/gas-fired boiler, which has a capacity range of 1-20 t/h and a pressure range of 0.7-1.25 MPa.

3.2 Water tube boilers:

Water tube boilers are mainly used for high pressure and high capacity applications, such as power generation, large industrial processes, and district heating. ZOZEN’s water tube boilers have SZS series oil/gas-fired steam boiler, which has a capacity range of 2-110 t/h and a pressure range of 1.25-5.4 MPa.

Part 4: What are the successful cases of water tube and fire tube boilers?

ZOZEN is a professional and experienced boiler manufacturer, with more than 30 years of history and rich experience. ZOZEN has developed a series of water tube and fire tube boiler products, which have been widely used and recognized by customers from different industries and regions. ZOZEN has also established a global sales and service network, which can provide timely and professional support and service to the customers. Here are some of the successful cases of water tube and fire tube boilers:

4.1 Water tube boiler:

A Feed industry company in Bangladesh needed a 8 ton/h SZL series coal-fired steam boiler for their feeding process. They chose ZOZEN as their partner, who recommended the SZL series coal-fired steam boiler that can produce saturated steam as needed. ZOZEN delivered a complete boiler system, including the boiler body, burner, control system, valve instrument, economizer, air preheater, dust collector, water treatment equipment, steam header, and chimney. The customer was very happy with the ZOZEN water tube boiler and praised ZOZEN’s service.

4.2 Fire tube boiler:

A wood company in Malaysia needed a 6 ton/h WNS series gas-fired steam boiler for their wood production process. ZOZEN handled the installation, commissioning, and training of the boiler for the customer. The customer was surprised with the ZOZEN’s sincerity, and was happy to cooperate with ZOZEN again.
