<p>A gas heated or kerosene-heated boiler for warm water, hot water or for steam generation having a substantially horizontal cylindrical combustion chamber defined and surrounded by a flue tube (1) consisting of a plurality of annular ring tubes (2) that are arranged in succession for conveying a suitable heat carrier and are held together by means of annular distance strips (3). At least some of the annular ring tubes have different inner cross sections and/or are arranged in a manner of having different, unequal spacing distances one to the next. Thus, a substantially uniform main diameter of the flue tube (1) is maintained, and despite of this, the flow of heat carrier circulated is harmonized with the thermal load which is non-equally distributed along the axis of the combustion chamber, resulting in improved utilization of the heat energy radiation at substantially constant wall temperature along the flue tube (1).</p> |
