Overview
ABSTRACT
This article provides an overview of the component systems of a boiler with the design criteria of exchangers (pressure parts and others) and air/smoke circuits. It mainly details combustion systems and their specificities as well as the types of water/steam circulation (natural, pump-assited, forced, etc.). It also presents the case of exchangers in pressure parts and provides advice regarding the choice of materials. It ends on the analysis of air/smoke circuits (nature of the circuits, air-heaters, ventilators, etc).
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

INTRODUCTION
The energy and material balances of the boilers were the subject of an initial dossier
The combustion system and the water/steam circulation system are the most specific components of a boiler. Together with design criteria for pressure exchangers and air/flue gas circuits, this dossier [BE 8 731] provides an overview of the systems that make up a boiler.
