How is a sterling boiler suspended?

A sterling boiler is suspended using lugs on the ends of the upper drums. This method of suspension allows the boiler to be securely mounted while accommodating the thermal expansion and movement of the boiler during operation. The lugs provide a stable point of support, ensuring that the boiler remains properly aligned and balanced. This is crucial for maintaining efficiency and safety in operation, as it prevents undue stress on the components of the boiler.

Other methods of support, such as concrete foundations or external metal beams, may provide stability for different types of structures but do not specifically pertain to the standard design and mounting of a sterling boiler. Flexible hangers might be used in other contexts but do not describe the typical suspension method for this type of boiler.
