Because the total volume of water in the tubes is relatively small compared to the heating surface area, the water reaches boiling point almost instantly. Our units at indianboilers.com can generate steam in just 3 to 6 minutes.

• Natural: Uses the density difference between cold water and hot steam to circulate water.
• Forced: Uses a high-pressure pump to drive water through the tubes, allowing for more compact designs and higher heat transfer rates.

The water is divided into many small-diameter tubes. If a tube fails, only a tiny amount of water is released. Unlike fire-tube boilers, there is no large central shell that can cause a catastrophic explosion.

Water tube boilers are the kings of high pressure. While fire-tube boilers usually top out at 17.5 kg/cm², our water tube models can easily be designed for 32 kg/cm² to 100 kg/cm² and beyond.

Our modern water tube boilers achieve 88% to 92% efficiency. Their design allows for the integration of advanced heat recovery systems like economizers and superheaters very effectively.

Yes. Due to the low water inventory and fast heat transfer, these boilers can ramp up steam production almost instantly when a machine starts, maintaining stable pressure across your plant.

Water tube boilers generally produce high-quality Dry Saturated Steam. Because they can be easily fitted with superheaters, they are the preferred choice for power generation and turbine operation.

• Power Plants: For driving turbines.
• Chemicals & Pharma: For high-pressure reactor heating.
• Textiles: For high-speed processing ranges.
• Refineries: Where high-temperature, high-pressure steam is mandatory.

At indianboilers.com, our water tube boilers are multi-fuel compatible. They can run on Natural Gas, LPG, Diesel (HSD), or even biomass and waste heat depending on the furnace design.

Yes. Almost all industrial water tube boilers fall under IBR (Indian Boiler Regulations) due to their high pressure and capacity. We handle all the necessary IBR documentation and inspections for you.

Extremely critical. Because the tubes are small, even a thin layer of scale (calcium) can cause a tube to overheat and burst. We recommend RO (Reverse Osmosis) or DM water with zero hardness.

We install "Soot Blowers" or provide easy-access doors. Regular cleaning of the tube exteriors ensures that combustion soot doesn't insulate the tubes and drop your efficiency.

Our systems include Low Water Flow Switches, High-Pressure Cut-offs, Flame Sensors, and multiple Spring-Loaded Safety Valves.

For 2025, a 1 TPH IBR-certified water tube boiler at indianboilers.com typically ranges from ₹6 Lakh to ₹18 Lakh, depending on the pressure rating and burner type.

The cost is higher due to the complex tube-bending process, the use of high-grade seamless pressure tubes, and the advanced automation required to manage the high-speed steam generation.

A 3 TPH high-pressure unit generally costs between ₹25 Lakh and ₹45 Lakh. The price varies significantly based on whether it is a vertical "Coil Type" or a large "Drum Type" system.

The ROI is usually achieved in 14 to 18 months. The savings come from lower fuel consumption (due to 90%+ efficiency) and reduced downtime during production peaks.

Yes, per Indian law, IBR-certified boilers must be operated by a qualified boiler attendant. However, our PLC-based automation reduces the human labor required for monitoring.
