Up to 40.000 kg of steam is produced by this boiler each hour.
It occupies less space than other boilers.
Replaced boiler tubes are simple to do.
It is the sole boiler used in power plants to generate a significant amount of heat.
Low draught loss is present in this boiler.
It is simple to clean and repair.
high general effectiveness.

Summary:

Which one of the following is a water tube boiler?

A water tube boiler is the Babcock and Wilcox boiler. Each hour, about 40,000 kg of steam is produced in this boiler and occupies less space than the other boilers. Draught loss is less in this boiler which makes it easy and simple to repair and clean.
