Types of Hot Water Boiler

Types of Hot Water Boiler Points : Types of Hot Water Boiler, Low Pressure Boilers, Medium And High Pressure Boilers According to their working temperature and pressure hot water boilers can be classified ass follows. 1. Low Pressure Boilers The hot water boilers are limited to working pressure of 160 psig (1103 KPa.g) and a working temperature of 250f (121C) 2. Medium And High Pressure Boilers These , boilers are designed to operate at a working pressure above 160 psig (1103 KPa) and a temperature above 250 F (121 C).

A low pressures hot water boiler is generally used for low temperature water (LTW) heating system in a single building, regardless of buildings size. Medium and high pressure boilers are often used in medium temperature water (MTW) and high temperature water (HTW) heating systems for building complexes in which hot water temperature may range from 300 to 400° F U50 to 205° C).

Based on their construction and materials, hot water boilers can also be classified, as fire tube boilers, water tube boilers cast-iron sectional boilers and electric boilers.
