2. Package boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_boiler

   A package boiler is a factory-made boiler. Package boilers are available in a range of standard designs. Package boilers are used for heating and act as a steam generator for small power purposes such as self-powered industrial plants. Package boilers are low pressure designs. A low pressure means low temperature water in the heat exchanger.

3. O-type boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-type_boiler

   An O-type boiler is a form of water-tube boiler. It is named, like the D-type and A-type boilers , from the approximate shape of its tubes. They are characterised by single steam and water drums vertically above each other, with curved vertical water tubes to the sides forming an overall cylindrical volume.

   In 1929, the United States Shipping Board evaluated a pulverized coal-boiler on the steamship Mercer, a 9,500 ton merchant ship. According to its report, the boiler heated with pulverized coal on the Mercer ran at 95% of the efficiency of its best oil-fuelled journey. Firing pulverized coal was also cheaper to operate and install than ship ...

   Some were of round section (haycock). A longer version on a rectangular plan was developed around 1775 by Boulton and Watt (wagon top boiler). This is what is today known as a three-pass boiler, the fire heating the underside, the gases then passing through a central square-section tubular flue and finally around the boiler sides.

   erosion of a boiler's plates from the internal water space, particularly where there is a step inside the shell. This was a problem for early boilers made from lapped plates rather than butted plates, and gave rise to many boiler explosions. In later years it was a problem for the non-circular water drums of Yarrow boilers. Handhole
