2. Steam shower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_shower

   A steam shower is a type of bathing where a humidifying steam generator produces water vapor that is dispersed around a person's body. A steam shower is essentially a steam room that offers the typical features of a bathroom shower. Steam showers are generally found in self-contained enclosures that prevent the water vapour from escaping into ...

3. Steam-electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam-electric_power_station

   The steam-electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser. The greatest variation in the design of steam-electric power plants is ...

4. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

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

   Boiler (power generation) An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine. 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 ...

5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   In electricity generation, a generator[1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

6. Supercritical steam generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_steam_generator

   Supercritical steam generator. Supercritical water exists at temperatures above 374 °C and pressures above 220 atmospheres. A supercritical steam generator is a type of boiler that operates at supercritical pressure and temperature, frequently used in the production of electric power. In contrast to a subcritical boiler in which steam bubbles ...

7. Steam generator (boiler) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator_(boiler)

   A steam generator is a form of low water-content boiler, similar to a flash steam boiler. The usual construction is as a spiral coil of water-tube, arranged as a single, or monotube, coil. Circulation is once-through and pumped under pressure, as a forced-circulation boiler. [1] The narrow-tube construction, without any large-diameter drums or ...
