(4% ins.) externaldiameter, occupying the upper part of the nest of tubes andoffering like them a passage for flame and hot gases. (2) Some D shaped tubes grouped in pairs among theflame tubes and used for the circulation of the superheatedsteam. A steam collector in several divisions is placed on the topof the smokebox. Some supplementary parts complete tkesystem. There must also be a diaphragm to close the flame tubes. fig. 2.
