These boilers were built with seamless drawn steel tubes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The water circulated inside the tubes, heated externally by the fire. The fuel burned inside the furnace, which was located in the lower part, creating hot gas that boiled the water, generated the steam and returned it to the top of the drum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The inclined tubes were connected to each other and communicated with a horizontal steam and water drum, and a tank where impurities were removed \u2013 arranged at the back and lower part of the boiler. The boiler was provided with two inspection doors and other supporting inspection parts such as a water gauge, the pressure gauge and the safety valve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>These water-tube steam boilers were patented and were the company\u2019s flagship products. In 1888 Edison wrote that his Babcock &amp; Wilcox boiler was \u201cthe best boiler God has permitted man yet to make\u201d.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t<hr>\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t<p><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2627-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/rialia.eus\/audio\/38-maqueta_caldera_en.mp3?_=1\"><\/source><a href=\"https:\/\/rialia.eus\/audio\/38-maqueta_caldera_en.mp3\">https:\/\/rialia.eus\/audio\/38-maqueta_caldera_en.mp3<\/a><\/audio> \t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maqueta de una caldera Babcock &amp; Wilcox Tipo Wif.
