2. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (7–2,000 kPa or 1–290 psi ) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a ...

3. Electric boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_boiler

   Some types of boilers aren't used for heating, but for other purposes. A boiler could be used as a household appliance or to produce steam for an industry. An electric steam boiler is intended to produce steam for process industry or other uses, such as drying, heat treating, and others. These are generally permanently installed systems with ...

   Water from the system or holding tank is then run over or near this hot element in a pipe or tank, heating the water to a suitable temperature, then making the water hot enough to boil and become saturated steam, [1] at which point the saturated steam is transported to wherever it is needed via the steam pipes that exit the body of the electric ...

5. Electrode boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode_boiler

   Electrode boilers can work on both single-phase and three-phase supplies. If DC voltage is used, electrolysis of water occurs, decomposing water into its elements H 2 at the cathode (negative electrode) and O 2 at the anode (positive electrode). The electrode boiler is 99.9% efficient with almost all the energy consumed producing steam. [1]

6. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

   Once this water is inside the boiler or steam generator, the process of adding the latent heat of vaporization begins. The boiler transfers energy to the water by the chemical reaction of burning some type of fuel. The water enters the boiler through a section in the convection pass called the economizer. From the economizer, it passes to the ...

7. Monotube steam generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotube_steam_generator

   Herreshoff steam generator in a Peruvian torpedo boat of 1879. A monotube steam generator is a type of steam generator consisting of a single tube, usually in a multi-layer spiral, that forms a once-through steam generator (OTSG). The first of these was the Herreshoff steam generator of 1873. [1]
