THE ECKROHRKESSEL (CORNER TUBE) SINGLE DRUM WATERTUBE BOILER ...link

Visit the German designer's homepage & learn about the unique features of this high-performance boiler design. Conceived during WWII in response to liquid fuel shortages, it was originally designed as a small, wood or coal-fired high circulation boiler for powering trucks. Modern Eckrohrkessel boilers evolved from that original concept & are in use worldwide with capacities ranging from small auxiliary boilers up to large utility boilers. They are widely used in Australia & examples in New Zealand include a large woodwaste-fired power boiler at CHH Kinleith Mill & at the opposite end of the scale, a small 5MW unit used in a deer products manufacturing plant at Ottogi Foods in Takanini, Auckland.
