    The document discusses key components of a boiler's feed water and steam circuit. It includes the economizer, a heat exchanger that uses flue gases to increase incoming feed water temperature close to the saturation point corresponding to boiler pressure. This improves efficiency by recovering heat from flue gases that would otherwise be lost. The boiler drum and water tubes are also mentioned as important parts of the circuit that generate and deliver steam throughout the system.

    FEED WATER & STEAM

    FLOW CIRCUIT
    FEED WATER AND STEAM CIRCUIT OF BOILER

    There are different components present in feed water and steam circuit of boiler and we
    should know some essential components of these circuit and these are:
    • Economizer
    • Boiler Drum
    • Water Tubes
    • Super Heater
    ECONOMIZER

    • Economizer is a heat exchanger which takes heat from the flue gas, and increases the
    temperature of feed water coming from feed water common header to about the saturation
    temperature corresponding to the boiler pressure.
    • Throwing away the flue gases of high temperature into the atmosphere involves a great deal
    of energy losses. By utilizing these gases in heating feed water, higher efficiency and better
    economy can be achieved, and hence the heat exchanger is called “Economizer”.
    • Structurally economizer is a collection of bent hollow tubular elements through which feed
    water passes. Outside of the tubes are heated by Exhaust flue gases. More no. of water
    tubes more will be the heat exchange surface. No. of tubes and tube cross section are pre-
    designed as per required boiler parameters.
