the tube and water surrounding them. 1. Cornish boiler 2. Lancashire boiler 3. Scotch marine boiler 4. Locomotive boiler 5. Vertical fire-tube boiler 1. Cornish boiler Cornish boiler was first adopted by a Cornish engineer. It consists of a flat cylindrical shell and a small flue tube containing the furnace passes through it. 2. Lancashire boiler Lancashire boiler is similar to Cornish boiler in construction but instead of one flue tube, two flue tubes are used. 3. Scotch marine boiler The Scotch marine is one of the most popular Fire tube boilers for higher steam capacities at high pressures. It uses a large number of small- diameter tubes. Large number of tubes gives the advantage of higher heating surface area. The furnaces are internally fired and leave the boiler though chimney to atmosphere. 4. Locomotive boiler It is a stationary boiler and is used in locomotives engine. It is efficient in steam production and is compact. It is horizontal multi tubular design. The main advantages of Locomotive boiler are low cost of construction, high steam capacity and low installation cost. 5. Vertical fire-tube boiler It is the simplest fire tube boiler which consists of a cylindrical shell containing greater portion of water and remaining portion is occupied by steam. It contains cross tubes and a furnace at the bottom of the boiler. The combustion gases after heating the water are allowed to escape into atmosphere I. Fire tube boiler is so easy to use, operate, clean and maintain. II. Fire tube boiler can be used in small scale industries. III. Fire tube boiler is relatively cheaper than water tube boiler. I. From the furnace combustion side, required time to fill water is longer than to increase temperature and pressure. II. The efficiency of heat transfer is low. III. In case of bombers fire tube boiler would be very dangerous. IV. The fire tube boiler can not produce steam at a pressure higher than 250 pounds per square inch. V. Capacity of generated steam is limited.
