Water tube boiler occupies a less floor area when compared to a fire-tube boiler that requires a large floor area. Water-tube boilers are lighter in weight and therefore transportation is also not tedious. Fire tube boilers on the contrary are heavy in weight and therefore they cause a lot of challenges to transport.

Water-tube boilers tend to last longer. The ability to run more efficiently also means water tube boilers have a longer life expectancy than their fire tube counterparts. Due to their increased efficiency in operation, Miura water tube boilers are a perfect fit for companies with fluctuating steam demands, as well as companies looking to save

These design changes have resulted in a marked improvement in heat transfer efficiency of the fire-tube boilers. Another outcome from this is that the overall footprint (boiler size) of the fire-tube boilers will be smaller in comparison to the water-tube boilers only in the lower capacities up to about 4,000,000 BTU/hr.
Read MoreDifference between Fire Tube Boiler and Water Tube Boiler The comparison between two boilers namely water tube as well as fire tube mainly includes working pressure, material type, the rate of steam production, the requirement of floor area, efficiency, load handling variation, design, operator skills, the cost for maintenance are discussed below.
