Sep 14, 2015 · Steam boilers tend to be steel water-tube- or fire-tube-type boilers in the 10-to-1,000-hp range. Fire-tube boilers are more robust and more tolerant of poor water quality, but require more physical space, than water-tube boilers. Regardless of boiler type, water quality is a critical aspect of implementing and operating an efficient steam plant.

Steam boilers: These are not as common in homes today, but they do still exist. A heat exchanger boils the water and sends it through a system of pipes using pressure, and gravity brings cooled water back to the boiler. Hot water boiler: Like the steam boiler, this type uses a heat exchanger. They differ in that they use pumps to distribute the
