   Boiler \Boil"er\, n.
      1. One who boils.
  
      2. A vessel in which any thing is boiled.
  
      Note: The word boiler is a generic term covering a great
               variety of kettles, saucepans, clothes boilers,
               evaporators, coppers, retorts, etc.
  
      3. (Mech.) A strong metallic vessel, usually of wrought iron
            plates riveted together, or a composite structure
            variously formed, in which steam is generated for driving
            engines, or for heating, cooking, or other purposes.
  
      Note: The earliest steam boilers were usually spheres or
               sections of spheres, heated wholly from the outside.
               Watt used the wagon boiler (shaped like the top of a
               covered wagon) which is still used with low pressures.
               Most of the boilers in present use may be classified as
               plain cylinder boilers, flue boilers, sectional and
               tubular boilers.
  
      {Barrel of a boiler}, the cylindrical part containing the
            flues.
  
      {Boiler plate}, {Boiler iron}, plate or rolled iron of about
            a quarter to a half inch in thickness, used for making
            boilers and tanks, for covering ships, etc.
  
      {Cylinder boiler}, one which consists of a single iron
            cylinder.
  
      {Flue boilers} are usually single shells containing a small
            number of large flues, through which the heat either
            passes from the fire or returns to the chimney, and
            sometimes containing a fire box inclosed by water.
  
      {Locomotive boiler}, a boiler which contains an inclosed fire
            box and a large number of small flues leading to the
            chimney.
  
      {Multiflue boiler}. Same as {Tubular boiler}, below.
  
      {Sectional boiler}, a boiler composed of a number of
            sections, which are usually of small capacity and similar
            to, and connected with, each other. By multiplication of
            the sections a boiler of any desired capacity can be built
            up.
  
      {Tubular boiler}, a boiler containing tubes which form flues,
            and are surrounded by the water contained in the boiler.
            See Illust. {of Steam boiler}, under {Steam}.
  
      {Tubulous boiler}. See under {Tubulous}. See {Tube}, n., 6,
            and 1st {Flue}.
