Aalborg D
The Alfa Laval Aalborg D is a large-capacity marine boiler for producing steam or hot water, especially on tankers. Fired with oil or gas, it has a D-type design, in which the steam drum and water drum are connected by a generating tube bank.

Delivered as a complete unit, the Aalborg D has a steam capacity range of 25–120 t/h and a design pressure of 18 bar(g).

The Aalborg D boiler is exceptionally well-suited for installation on tankers, where it plays a crucial role in onboard operations. It efficiently produces steam essential for driving cargo pump turbines, facilitating vital heating processes, and ensuring thorough tank cleaning. This robust design ensures reliable and consistent steam supply for these demanding applications.
Reasons to choose the Aalborg D
The Aalborg D has proven its value on tankers, securing high output with a simple and reliable D-type boiler design.
Flexible fuel configuration The same Aalborg D design can be fired with oil or gas. The Aalborg KBSD burner is used for oil, while the Aalborg MPF is recommended for dual-fuel operation. Both are steam-atomizing burners. |
Tube design options The boiler’s combustion section can be delivered with either bare tubes or straight tubes with bent pins. Both provide a high coefficient of heat transfer and limit pressure loss. |
Optimized furnace Constructed with membrane walls, the Aalborg D furnace is fully water-cooled and completely gas-tight. |
Natural circulation Large, unheated downcomers are welded to the outside of the Aalborg D drums. The downcomers secure natural water circulation with a high circulation ratio. |
