    Stirling Boiler

    Uploaded by

    Dr. BIBIN CHIDAMBARANATHAN
    The Stirling boiler is a large-capacity bent tube boiler that was first designed in 1888. It consists of three steam drums on top connected via bent tubes to two mud drums on the bottom. Steam production can reach 50,000 kg per hour at pressures up to 60 kgf/cm2, making it suitable for large power stations. Water circulates through the drums and tubes, where it is heated by combustion gases traveling through the furnace in a zigzag pattern set by baffle plates. This generates high-pressure steam for power generation.

    STIRLING BOILER

    STIRLING BOILER
    ❖ Stirling Boiler is one of the most basic variety of bent

    tube boiler.

    ❖ In most of the modern thermal power generating

    plants we use bent tube boiler.

    ❖ Stirling Boiler is one of the largest capacity boiler.

    ❖ A Stirling Boiler can generate as high as 50,000 kg

    steam per hour and can produce pressure as high as

    60 kgf per cm2.


    STIRLING BOILER
    ❖ This boiler was first designed in the year of 1888 by

    Alan Stirling so we refer the boiler as Stirling Boiler.

    ❖ Because of the huge capacity we can use this boiler

    in central power stations.


    STIRLING BOILER
    Construction:
    ❖ In Stirling Boiler there are three steam drums and

    two mud drums.

    ❖ Three steam drums are placed on the top portion

    of the boiler system structure and two mud drums are

    placed on bottom of the structure.

    ❖ The top steam drums are connected to the bottom

    mud drums with banks of bent tubes.


    STIRLING BOILER
    Construction:
    ❖ Since the tubes are bent, the mechanical stresses

    due to expansion of the pipes during heating can not

    effect the system much.

    ❖ The steam drums, mud drums and bent tubes are

    made of steel.

    ❖ Also still structure is used to support the entire

    system.
    STIRLING BOILER
    Construction:
    ❖ The entire system is enclosed by a brickwork.

    ❖ Here the brick enclosure is used to prevent the

    heat dissipation to the surroundings.

    ❖ The fire door is constructed at the bottom side of

    the brick enclosure wall.

    ❖ The damper is provided on the other side of the

    brick enclosure wall to take out the combustion gas as

    when required.
    STIRLING BOILER
    Construction:
    ❖ The fire brick arch is provided above the furnace.
    ❖ Three baffles are provided in the boiler system to
    allow the combustion gas to flow in zigzag way.
    ❖ There is one water circulating tubes connecting the
    mud drums.
    ❖ Also there are steam circulating tubes connecting
    middle steam drums to outer steam drums.
    ❖ There is also a group of hot water circulating tube
    from front steam drum to middle steam drum.
    STIRLING BOILER
    Construction:
    ❖ A safety value is provided on the back steam drum.
    ❖ Finally the steam is collected from middle steam
    drum.
    ❖ The steam compartment is constructed inside the
    middle steam drum.
    ❖ The super heater is connected to steam compartment
    through a steel pipe.
    STIRLING BOILER
    Working:
    ❖ The Feed Water is allowed inside the drum by a feed
    check valve.
    ❖ The water travels to the mud drum where any
    unwanted particles will get settle at the bottom of the
    mud drum, which will be eliminated by a blow-off valve.
    ❖ The rest of the water will move towards the other
    two drums.
    ❖ The water circulation is maintained by circulating
    tubes and steam pressure is maintained by equalizing
    tubes.
    STIRLING BOILER
    Working:
    ❖ The fuel that is burnt in the firebox over the grate
    produces hot flue gases that travel over the water tubes
    giving its temperature.
    ❖ For the proper passage of hot flue gases over the
    water tubes baffle plates are arranged.
    ❖ The heated water generates high-pressure steam used
    for the production of Electricity.
    STIRLING BOILER
    Advantages:
    ❖ The steam production rate is very higher.

    ❖ Pressure drop inside the boiler is less.

    ❖ Great flexibility in the design.


    STIRLING BOILER
    Disadvantages:
    ❖ Cleaning is difficult.

    ❖ The size of the boiler is large.

    ❖ Large in space (occupies more space).

    ❖ A very high level of superheating is not possible.


    STIRLING BOILER
    Applications:
    ❖ Paper Mills

    ❖ Sugar Mills

    ❖ Steam Engine.
