Furnace here mainly refers to the water tube boiler furnace for fossil fuel, used in steam generating stations of modern steam power generating utilities (excludes supercritical type). The key part of a water tube boiler furnace is a boiler drum and associated tubing forming the walls of the furnace in which water is boiled into steam, commonly under pressure. Inside the furnace, combustion takes place using an oxidizer such as air where some type of fossil fuel is burnt to heat the water in the tubes.
