Radiant Boiler — Carolina Type


RBC
Design features:
Arranged with a natural circulation,
water-cooled dry-bottom furnace,
and superheater, reheater,
economizer and air heater
components — the Carolina design
employs a horizontal convection
pass and vertical pendant heat
transfer surfaces.

Arranged with a water-cooled dry-
bottom furnace, and superheater,
reheater, economizer and air heater
components — the Downshot
design features an enlarged,
refractory-lined furnace for low rank
coals resulting in a hotter furnace
to sustain combustion.
