Inquiry of Practical Design Formula for Fire-tube Boiler..... 3

[gotothesky]

Helle,

I have to consider a new boiling system such like fire tube boiler.
Usally, Boiler boils water only.
But, My item is NOT to boil WATER.
(may be, Commercial software for Fire tube boiler is not available.)

Due to This reason, I would like to get All Formula needed for Fire tube boiler.
After getting the source, I plan to make design sheet in EXCEL format.

Is there any reference book for Fire tube boiler?
The source should be practical and reliable...

Give me a help.

Dear Georgeverghese

Thank you for your confirmation for feature of Kettle type reboiler.

The turndown ratio of Kettle Reboiler needs to be large, Isn't it?

Thank you for your confirmation.

Turndown on heat duty in a once through kettle reboiler is only limited by the control turndown limit of the heating device. For thyristor controlled electric heating bundle, turndown is not an issue at all.
My previous comment is not correct:
"Think you may have to avoid any forced recirculation reboiler configuration since the column bottoms composition is close to the max boiling azeotrope point."
