Abstract
A vapor generating system in which a vapor generating section and a superheating section are connected in a series flow relationship. The vapor generating section includes an upright furnace section formed by a plurality of tubes, a portion of which extend at an angle with respect to the horizontal plane for passing fluid through the length of the furnace section to convert a portion of the fluid to vapor or to heat the fluid. The angularly extending portion of each tube has a rifled bore.
