Completely shop assembled, they can be placed into service quickly. The packaged units are automatic, requiring a minimum of attention, and hence reduce operating costs. In compacting, however, the furnace and heating surfaces are reduced to a minimum, resulting in high heat-transfer rates, with possible overheating and potential increased maintenance and operating difficulties. Thus caution must be exercised in the selection of packaged units because the tendency toward compactness can be carried too far.
Overheating of the tubes is prevented by designing the unit to accommodate the heat transfer required for a given steam velocity through the tubes, based on the desired steam temperature. To accomplish this, it is necessary to have the steam distributed uniformly to all the superheater tubes and at a velocity sufficient to provide a scrubbing action to avoid overheating of the metal. Carry-over from the steam drum must be at a minimum. Superheaters are referred to as convection, radiant, or combination types.
Water-tube boilers require elaborate settings, and initial costs are generally higher than those of fire-tube boilers in the range for which such units are most frequently designed. However, when this capacity range is exceeded for highpressure and high-temperature steam, only the water-tube boiler is available. Air filtration, which plagued the earlier water-tube boiler, has now been minimized in the design by means of membrane tube water walls, improved expansion joints, and casings completely enclosing the unit.
