Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A steam boiler in which hot gaseous products of combustion pass through tubes surrounded by boiler water. The water and steam in fire-tube boilers are contained within a large-diameter drum or shell, and such units often are referred to as shell-type boilers. Heat from the products of combustion is transferred to the boiler water by tubes or flues of relatively small diameter (approximately 3-4 in.) through which the hot gases flow. 4, record 1, English, - fire%2Dtube%20boiler

générateur; chaudière : Certains auteurs semblent employer indifféremment ces termes, peu importe l'importance de l'appareil. Cependant, de façon générale, «générateur» serait réservé aux «appareils de chauffage de très grande importance»; dans d'autres cas, le terme «générateur», prendrait le sens général «d'appareil qui produit de la chaleur». 7, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20tubes%20de%20fum%C3%A9e
