3. What is the main feature of a water tube boiler?

The main feature of a water tube boiler is that water circulates in tubes heated externally
by the fire. Fuel is burned in the furnace, creating hot gas which heats water in steam
generating tubes. This design allows for a higher steam production rate and pressure,
making it suitable for high-pressure applications such as power generation.
