Boiler Pressure Parts & Economiser Guide

The document discusses the components of a boiler system through which feed water and steam flow. It focuses on the economiser, which preheats feed water using heat from outgoing flue gases, improving boiler efficiency. The document compares types of economisers and considerations in economiser design, such as heat transfer area requirements based on feed water properties and gas outlet temperature. It also addresses economiser location, failure causes like overheating and corrosion, and recirculation.
