Ali, Farouk S.M.

This article describes steam generators of watertube design with special reference to monotube generators. Packaged units of this type are discussed, and application of such a unit to oil field steam injection operations is described. A typical bent-tube boiler usually consists of 2 or 3 small, horizontally-positioned drums, 2 to 6 ft in diameter, interconnected with a large assemblage of bent tubes. The drums are for storage of water and steam, while the tubes contain the entire heating surface. A monotube boiler is basically a unit consisting of a single lone tube at one end of which water enters and at the other end steam emerges in wet, saturated, or superheated state. The following 2 monotube steam generators are considered: the Benson and the Sulzer boilers.
