For subcritical steam applications B&W's workhorse radiant boiler (RB) is the technology of choice.
Our extensive worldwide experience in designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing more than 700 RB boilers, up to 900 MW, gives our customers the reliability and dependability they demand.
B&W's RB boiler incorporates natural circulation which takes advantage of the density difference between water in the downcomers and the steam/water mixture in the furnace tubes to provide cooling flow in these tubes. With natural circulation, no pumps are required, so auxiliary power requirements are reduced and availability is improved.
B&W's RB boiler is designed with a parallel back-end that allows gas biasing reheat steam temperature control.
Benefits include:
- No attemperating spray requirements
- Reliable control of reheat temperature separate from the combustion process (as compared to tilting burners)
Radiant boiler types include:
