A-Type :
A-type watertube boilers represent an alternate way designing watertube boilers. It is symmetrical, well balanced boiler with a large furnace volume.
The A-type design such as Thermoboil A-type boiler provides a larger furnace than an O-type design for example and will offer the same advantages than the O-type as far as symmetry and natural circulation are concerned. It will go as high in capacity, pressure and temperature than an O-type but will be bigger and cost more money since it is bigger and has an extra mud drum. Capacities for package units can go as high as 250,000 lbs/hr (115 tons/hr) with pressures up to 1500psig (103 bar) and temperatures up to 1000F (537C).Higher capacities are possible with field erected units.
It is very appropriate to fire no.6 oil, no.2 oil or gas .It is also available with an open bottom furnace to allow burning of solid fuels such as wood residues, agricultural wastes, bagasse etc. A D-type or an O-type boiler is not as suitable for solid fuel burning due to its geometry.
Radiant and convective type superheaters can be added at the rear end of the A-type Thermoboil units and provide superheated steam at a constant temperature over all the firing range. For very large capacities, high pressures and temperatures, it is often the choice of the consulting engineers and of the end users. The design can be built with membrane waterwalls or with tangent tubes. In most cases membrane waterwalls are preferred.
It can perform as well as a D-type but will cost a little bit more to produce. A-type boilers are often using for cogeneration, petrochemical industries, industrial processes etc. It is a rugged and conservative design. On large sizes the furnace gas pressures are much lower than a D-type or an O-type due to the boiler bank configurations and the burners will require less fan power.
It is a well balanced boiler design. It will be easier to ship by road or by train than
D-types because of its A-type shape, which fits better with tunnels and bridges.
