Drum Boiler (Natural/Forced Circulation)

Drum boilers are used for subcritical pressure steam conditions. Drum boiler is a proven technology and is suitable for middle to small capacity plant.

Mitsubishi drum boilers can adopt two kinds of circulation system, that is natural circulation and forced circulation (assisted circulation).

Natural Circulation Forced Circulation
Natural Circulation Forced Circulation

Drum operation pressure up to 18.3 MPa (Natural Circulation) / 19.7 MPa (Forced Circulation) is realized by optimized circulation system design.
