There are several factors that influence the natural circulation in a watertube boiler.
These are:
OM
a. The height of the steam drum above the bottom drum or header.
b. The amount of heat applied to the tube. The hotter the tube becomes, the more
steam bubbles are formed, creating more mass differential and thus more
circulation.
c. The operating pressure of the boiler. As boiler pressures increase, the density of
NA
the steam increases
d. The cleanliness of the tubes can also affect circulation.
e. All of the above - ANS e
The purpose of the downcomer is to supply:
