Answer» CORRECT answer is (c) Formation of bubbles To elaborate: The main disadvantage of Lamont boiler is the formation of bubbles. These bubbles COME in contact with the inner surface of the heating tubes and subsequently are attached to it. The bubbles attached to the tube surface have HIGHER thermal resistance and consequently reduce the heat flow and STEAM generation. |
