The advantage of installing waterwall tubes in a boiler furnace is to __________.
• Boiler furnace waterwall tubes and what they do to the furnace enclosure • Relationship between waterwall surface area and allowable furnace heat release (combustion rate) • How gas flow patterns are affected by adding cooled tube surfaces to the furnace walls
• Think about what happens to the furnace metal temperature when you line the furnace walls with water‑cooled tubes instead of bare refractory or steel plate. • If the walls stay cooler, what can you safely do with the amount of fuel burned per cubic foot of furnace volume? • Consider whether waterwall tubes are mainly installed to change gas velocity OR to handle more heat in the same furnace space.
• Identify the primary purpose of waterwall tubes: heat absorption vs gas routing vs drum heating. • Decide whether waterwall tubes are more closely related to combustion intensity or to gas-flow direction. • Ask yourself if waterwall tubes are directly connected to the mud drum for the purpose described in the question, or if that is just part of the circulation path.
