The fire tube steam boiler is one of the most widely used types of industrial boilers, recognized for its compact structure, ease of installation, and stable performance. In this design, hot gases produced by fuel combustion flow through tubes surrounded by water. Heat transfer occurs as the hot gases pass through multiple passes, raising water temperature and generating steam. The design allows for efficient heat absorption, straightforward operation, and relatively low initial investment compared to other boiler types.

The fire tube steam boiler has earned its place in many industries, including food and beverage, textile, paper, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its ability to deliver saturated steam under stable pressure makes it suitable for applications such as sterilization, drying, pasteurization, fabric treatment, and various heating processes. For industries with demanding energy needs and strict quality requirements, the choice of a reliable fire tube steam boiler directly impacts production efficiency and product consistency.

Among the many manufacturers of fire tube boilers, ZOZEN Boiler has established itself as a reputable supplier with decades of experience in boiler design and manufacturing. The company offers tailor-made solutions that combine advanced combustion technology, high thermal efficiency, and user-friendly operation, helping clients reduce energy costs while maintaining stable output.

ZOZEN 8 ton WNS gas-fired fire tube steam boiler

ZOZEN WNS Series Gas-Fired Fire Tube Steam Boiler

At the center of ZOZEN’s fire tube product line is the WNS series gas-fired steam boiler. This series is designed with the three-pass wet-back structure, which maximizes heat transfer while minimizing stress on the boiler components. By adopting the fire tube steam boiler principle, the WNS model ensures that combustion gases pass through corrugated furnace and threaded smoke tubes in three distinct routes, allowing full utilization of thermal energy before exhaust.

The WNS fire tube steam boiler has a steam capacity ranging from 1 ton/hour to 20 tons/hour, which makes it highly adaptable for medium and large-scale industrial projects. The rated steam pressure typically falls between 0.7 MPa and 2 MPa, sufficient to support diverse processes from food sterilization to chemical synthesis. The large furnace chamber ensures complete combustion, while the wave-shaped furnace wall structure accommodates thermal expansion and improves mechanical strength.

Equipped with imported burners, the WNS fire tube steam boiler achieves high combustion efficiency. Fuel—whether natural gas, light diesel, or other clean energy sources—is atomized by the burner, mixed with air in proper proportion, and fully combusted in the furnace. Nitrogen oxide emissions are kept low, helping enterprises comply with increasingly strict environmental regulations. Thermal efficiency can reach more than 98% when combined with energy-saving devices such as economizers and condensers.

Automation is another significant feature of the WNS fire tube steam boiler. The system includes automatic water feeding, combustion control, and real-time safety monitoring. Instruments for water level, pressure, and temperature are integrated into the intelligent control panel, which allows operators to adjust parameters easily and ensures safe operation even during long production cycles. These features reduce the intensity of manual operation and prevent unplanned downtime.

Maintenance has also been carefully considered. The wet-back design avoids refractory materials in the rear chamber, reducing maintenance frequency and extending service life. Meanwhile, the threaded smoke tubes and removable front and rear smoke boxes allow convenient inspection and cleaning. This ensures that the WNS fire tube steam boiler maintains stable performance over years of operation.

Case Study: MCS Coca-Cola in Mongolia

The advantages of ZOZEN’s WNS fire tube steam boiler are clearly demonstrated in the case of MCS Coca-Cola LLC, the authorized bottler of Coca-Cola in Mongolia since 2001. The parent group, MCS, was established in 1993 and has grown into a diversified enterprise with significant contributions to Mongolia’s economic development. For the beverage production lines, including iced tea and fruit juice, precise temperature control and stable steam supply are critical. Steam boilers directly influence product quality by ensuring consistent pasteurization, sterilization, and bottling processes.

When MCS Coca-Cola expanded its product range, the company needed an energy solution capable of delivering reliable steam under variable loads. After evaluating multiple options, MCS selected three sets of WNS series gas-fired fire tube steam boilers from ZOZEN.

The installation of these boilers proved highly successful. Each unit integrates a corrugated furnace where the atomized fuel is fully combusted. Combined with the three-pass design, the furnace ensures that thermal energy is thoroughly absorbed by the water, which translates into higher efficiency and reduced fuel consumption. As a result, MCS Coca-Cola achieved lower operating costs while maintaining stable steam output.

Beyond combustion efficiency, the intelligent control system of the WNS fire tube steam boiler provided precise adjustment of operating parameters. Water level and pressure sensors worked in real-time, supported by automated alarm and protection functions. This enhanced safety while reducing the risk of operator error. Continuous monitoring guaranteed that the boilers delivered uninterrupted steam supply, which was vital for sensitive beverage production lines.

The application of ZOZEN WNS fire tube steam boilers at MCS Coca-Cola demonstrates how advanced boiler technology can directly contribute to production quality, energy efficiency, and long-term operational stability. For a company that represents a global brand in a developing market, reliable steam supply was not only a technical requirement but also a foundation for brand reputation.
