The "D" type "DR"
design watertube boiler has allowed English Boiler to offer attractive
pricing programs without sacrificing quality construction, efficiency,
guaranteed emissions, and on time delivery.
The "DR"
design boiler is made up of five major components. The components are the
Structural Steel Base and Lower Water Drum, the Front Wall, the Rear Wall,
and the Upper Steam Drum. These components provide the structural
integrity of the boiler. Each component is designed to expand independent
of the other components. The membrane wall tubes in conjunction with the corner
expansion joints allow for the independent expansion. Regardless of
its capacity, each boiler is constructed in much the same manner.
This concept allows English Boiler to
custom design each and every unit without incurring extra engineering
charges. Any boiler can be changed in height, width, and length without
penalizing the customer. Each English boiler is designed to meet and
exceed the customer requirements. English boilers usually have more
heating surface for the same size and capacity than that provided by other
boiler manufacturers.
The English "DR"
boiler is designed around the premise that the maximum heat release in the
furnace should not exceed 85,000 (Btu/Hr/CuFt). At the same time the
maximum exit gas temperature (before the economizer) should not exceed 200°F
above the saturation temperature of the steam at the corresponding operating
pressure.
English Boiler believes that refractory
lined furnace walls are superior to thermal ceramic insulation blocks
typically used by other boiler manufacturers in front and rear wall
construction. Refractory
lined walls provide structural integrity and should be specified in lieu of
ceramic insulation walls, which are more likely to fail due to separation
between the ceramic blocks. All English boilers with lower drums
greater than 24" O.D. are constructed with water-cooled front and rear
membrane walls. English Boiler offers a guarantee on water-cooled,
refractory lined front and rear walls.
