Curved Tube
Curved Tube
(OP)
Dear all,
I need your help. There are several curved tubes which are located in the water drum (mud drum) of a boiler. I don’t have the drawing, I only have the picture. If someone over here have worked with this type of boiler, could you please tell me the functions of those curved tubes? The picture is attached.
Thanks and regards
Aida

RE: Curved Tube
Do you have downcomers below the mud drum?
Do these downcomers end up in a ring header from which the water wall tubes rise up the boiler?

The boilermaker is "Vickers Hoskins", it's a local Malaysian company. Many people suspect those tubes originated from heated downcomers.
RE: Curved Tube
Yes there are downcomers at the water wall headers but no downcomers below the mud drum.

We are closer to an answer. But first things first.
Which side is the furnace box? Is it towards those tubes?
