boiler stage notes
There are two general types of boilers: ''fire-tube'' and ''water-tube''. Boilers are classified as "high-pressure" or "low-pressure" and "steam boiler" or "hot water boiler." Boilers that operate higher than 15 psig are called "high-pressure" boilers. A hot water boiler, strictly speaking, is not a boiler.
Our guide covers the three most common types of boiler and central heating options; system boilers, regular boilers and combi boilers. Any new gas boiler you have installed will be a condensing boiler model.
The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam. Steam produced in a boiler can be used for a variety of purposes including space heating, sterilisation, drying, humidification and power generation.
In general, tank-based home boilers (system and conventional) are best for properties with multiple bathrooms, while combi boilers are the most appropriate choice for smaller homes with just one bathroom.

Since the amount of steam delivered varies with temperature and pressure, a common expression of the boiler capacity is the heat transferred over time expressed as British Thermal Units per hour. A boilers capacity is usually expressed as kBtu/hour (1000 Btu/hour) and can be calculated as. W = (hg - hf) m (1)
The working principle of boiler: In the boiler, water is converted into the higher pressure and temperature steam with the help of heat energy developed from the chemical energy of the fuel by burning of the fuel. This steam is used for various purposes such as power generation and other processes.
Boiler efficiency is a measure of how effectively chemical energy in fuel is converted into heat energy in steam going to the turbines.
While historically, boilers would over-pressurise and explode with alarming regularity, modern boilers are manufactured to be able to withstand excessive pressure, and can typically handle an operating pressure of 20 PSI. When pressures increase beyond this level, the boiler can fail, which can lead to an explosion

The boiler's burner assembly is positioned under the heat exchanger, heating the water as it flows through the pipe. The heat exchanger is one of the most important parts of the entire boiler system.
