Water-tube
Definition
Operating through a network of tubes inside of which water or steam circulates, being heated from the outside by combustion gases; a structural term especially applied to high-pressure steam boilers. This advanced technical design optimizes heat transfer, reduces the total volume of stored liquid, and provides superior safety against explosions compared to fire-tube boilers.
