What is a saddle boiler?

A saddle boiler is a type of steam boiler characterized by its distinctive shape, which resembles a saddle. It typically features a cylindrical design with a horizontal layout, and the boiler's firebox is often positioned beneath the steam-generating section. This configuration allows for efficient heat transfer and steam production, making saddle boilers suitable for various industrial applications. They are commonly used in situations where space is limited or when a compact design is advantageous.
