smoke box is arranged at the right end of the upper boiler shell, a rear smoke box is arranged at the left end of the middle boiler shell, a front smoke box is arranged at the right end of the middle boiler shell, and a front smoke box is arranged at the left end of the lower boiler shell. A
burnout chamber is arranged at an outlet of the
hearth and communicated with the front smoke box of the upper boiler shell through a high-temperature
flue, the rear smoke box of the upper boiler shell is communicated with the front smoke box of the middle boiler shell through a high-temperature
flue, the rear smoke box of the middle boiler shell is communicated with the front smoke box of the lower boiler shell through a high-temperature
flue, and the rear smoke box of the lower boiler shell is communicated to a smoke outlet. The capacity of the boiler can be increased, and transportation and installation are convenient.
