🔍 Key Concepts

• Natural circulation in boilers and the role of density differences between hot and cold water • Location and function of downcomers versus riser tubes in a water-tube boiler • How tube exposure to furnace heat affects circulation and metal temperature

💭 Think About

• Think about whether downcomers carry hotter or cooler water, and how that affects the speed of natural circulation. • Consider where downcomers are located in relation to the furnace and whether they are intended to pick up heat or to stay relatively cool. • Ask yourself: does removing tubes from direct furnace heat help or hurt their ability to move water around the circuit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether downcomers are meant to absorb furnace heat or to avoid it. • Confirm the direction of flow in downcomers vs. risers (upflow or downflow) and how that relates to circulation rate. • Check a boiler diagram to see if downcomers are inside or outside the hottest furnace zone, and what that implies for statements I and II.
