    resistors: the braking resistors of electric trains, used to dissipate electrical power when the catenary is not receptive during braking, can make electromagnetically induced acoustic noise; coils: in magnetic resonance imaging, "coil noise" is that part of total system noise attributed to the receiving coil, due to its non-zero temperature.

    These are boilers which are built at a factory then shipped out as a complete unit to the job site. These typically have better quality and fewer issues than boilers which are site assembled tube-by-tube. A package boiler only needs the final connections to be made (electrical, breaching, condensate lines, etc.) to complete the installation.

  8. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

    A significant advantage of the watertube boiler is that there is less chance of a catastrophic failure: there is not a large volume of water in the boiler nor are there large mechanical elements subject to failure. A water-tube boiler was patented by Blakey of England in 1766 and was made by Dallery of France in 1780. [2]

  9. Draft (boiler) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(boiler)

    In a water boiler, draft is the difference between atmospheric pressure and the pressure existing in the furnace or flue gas passage. [1] Draft can also be referred to as the difference in pressure in the combustion chamber area which results in the motion of the flue gases and the air flow.
