NESTLER BOILER
❖ Nestler boiler is a horizontal axis boiler and belongs
from fire tube types of boilers.
❖ Shell of nestle boiler consist of two thick mild steel
plates.
❖ A large number of fire tubes are fitted in between the
steel plates.
❖ A bigger diameter furnace tube extending from
burner end to other end is used for carrying hot flue
gases from one smoke box to the other smoke box.
NESTLER BOILER
❖ At the rear end smoke box chimney is provided for

rejection of exhaust gases.

❖ Fuel which is used for the burning is a highly viscous

fluid which is firstly heated up to 80°C and then

supplied for the burning purpose.

❖ Nestler boiler can deliver the steam up to 10-11 bar

pressure.
NESTLER BOILER
Fusible Plug:
❖ The main purpose of a fusible plug is to

extinguish the fire in the furnace of the boiler

when the water level in the boiler falls below an

unsafe level.

❖ Thus, explosion is avoided which may take place

due to overheating of the tubes and shell.

NESTLER BOILER

Blow off Cock:

❖ It is used to blow off the settle down impurities,

mud and sediments present in the boiler water.

NESTLER BOILER

Chimney (or stack):

❖ The chimney (stack) passes flue gases from the

top of the firebox through the top of the shell.

NESTLER BOILER
Steam Stop Valve:
❖ Steam stop valve is used to regulate the flow of

steam from one steam pipe to the other or from the

boiler to the steam pipe.

NESTLER BOILER
Safety Valve:
❖ The function of safely valve is to safeguard the

boiler from the danger of pressure higher than the safe

working pressure.

❖ Every boiler has a safe working pressure designed

by the manufacturer and can be operated safely if it is

operated within this pressure limit.

❖ The designed pressure may be more than the safe

working pressure.
NESTLER BOILER

Pressure Gauge:
❖ The function of the pressure gauge is to measure

the pressure of steam inside the boiler.

❖ The gauge is usually mounted on the front top of

the shell or drum such that it should be clearly visible

to the operator.
NESTLER BOILER
Manhole:
❖ It is provided on the top of the shell to

enable a man to enter into it and inspect

and repair the boiler from inside it.

❖ It is also, meant for cleaning the interior of

the boiler shell and exterior of the

combustion chamber and stack (chimney).

NESTLER BOILER
Working:
❖ Fuel and high pressure air is mixed to produce
the air fuel mixture which is burn in o produce
the hot gases.
❖ Hot gases move through the furnace tube and
enter the rear end smoke box of the Nestler
boiler.
❖ From the rear end smoke box hot gases enter
into the fire tube which is surrounded by the
liquid.
NESTLER BOILER
Working:
❖ Hot gases transfer their heat to the liquid and
move forward into the front end sample smoke
box from there finally hot gases moves toward
the chimney from where they are eliminated
into the atmosphere.
❖ Steam produce as the result of heat transfer
between hot gases and water is collected into
the steam chamber above.
