The invention discloses a vertical type coal dust corner tube boiler which comprises a burner, a boiler furnace, a high temperature air preheater, a coal economizer, a low temperature air preheater convection tube bundle, an upper collecting box, a top collecting box, a boiler barrel and a lower collecting box. The lower collecting box is arranged at the bottom of a boiler body, and the upper collecting box and the top collecting box are arranged at the top of the boiler body and are communicated through a vapor communicating pipe. The vertical type coal dust corner tube boiler is characterized in that the burner is arranged in the front of the boiler body, the boiler body is of a vertical type tubular membrane type water-cooled wall structure, four down pipes are arranged at four corners, and the down pipes and two ends of the membrane type water-cooled wall are communicated with the upper collecting box and the lower collecting box respectively. The convection tube bundle is arranged on the outer side of the membrane type water-cooled wall, the top of the convection tube bundle is communicated with a hearth smoke outlet, and the bottom of the convection tube bundle is communicated with the high temperature air preheater. The vertical type coal dust corner tube boiler has the advantages that an integral structure is compact, the appearance is arranged simply, an occupied area is small, steel consumption is small, water circulating differential pressure of the boiler is large, and water circulation is safe and reliable, and the like.
