Typical machinery layout of a tramp steamer.
Typical boiler room layout.
The boiler pressure vessel is a horizontal cylindrical tube closed at both sides with an end plate and insulated all around.
A small building or home may have at most a.
To achieve the proper design one must have a complete understanding of i the application objectives ii the limitations of the boiler room and iii all applicable building and boiler room codes.
As can be seen in the diagram above the main engines are usually situated amidships with the boiler room immediately forward of the engine room.
Generally of the firetube design or watertube design concepts.
Hot water or steam boilers are relatively similar in design figure.
Each boiler room is unique.
The firetube boiler the firetube boiler design see figures 1 1 1 2 uses tubes to direct the hot gases from the combustion process through the boiler to a safe point of discharge.
It has got equipments like steam boiler steam distribution header mixing tank pump pppu system feed water tank day oil tank electric panel etc it s showing layout with detailed equipment legend.
Unless a building is served by a centralized heating plant the size of the mechanical room is usually proportional to the size of the building.
The tubes are submerged in the boiler water and transfer the heat from the hot gases into the water.
Boiler of this type filled with water and ready for function can weigh as much as 165 tons which corresponds to the weight of 120 vw golfs.
