Patent number: 8555820Abstract: A boiler has a plurality of inner heat-transfer tubes which makes up an inner heat-transfer tube row, and a plurality of outer heat-transfer tubes which makes up an outer heat-transfer tube row. Inner fins project from each of the inner heat-transfer tubes on an outer circumferential side of the inner heat-transfer tube row. Outer fins project from each of the outer heat-transfer tubes on an inner circumferential side of the outer heat-transfer tube row. An inner row communicating portion is provided in a lower end portion of the inner heat-transfer tube row. An outer row communicating portion is provided in an upper end portion of the outer heat-transfer tube row. An inner-fin absent region is provided in a lower end portion of each of the inner heat-transfer tubes. An outer-fin absent region is provided in a longitudinally middle portion of each of the outer heat-transfer tubes.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Miura Co., Ltd.Inventor: Soji Sumi

Publication number: 20110088636Abstract: The present invention relates to a various kinds of boilers including a steam boiler, a hot water boiler, a waste-heat boiler and an exhaust gas boiler. Projections are provided on a heat-transfer tube which connects an upper header and a lower header with each other such that a heat-transfer area pet unit length of the heat-transfer tube becomes smaller in an upstream region than that in a downstream region of combustion gas. It is preferable that installation pitches between adjacent upper and lower projections and/or projecting lengths of the projections from the heat-transfer tube are changed such that the heat-transfer area per unit length of the heat-transfer tube becomes smaller in the upstream region than those in the downstream region of the combustion gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2009Publication date: April 21, 2011Applicant: MIURA CO., LTD.Inventors: Soji Sumi, Yukihiro Tokunaga
