  2. Combined cycle power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_cycle_power_plant

    Supplementary firing can raise exhaust temperatures from 600 °C (GT exhaust) to 800 or even 1000 °C. Supplemental firing does not raise the efficiency of most combined cycles. For single boilers it can raise the efficiency if fired to 700–750 °C; for multiple boilers however, the flexibility of the plant should be the major attraction.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Cogeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration

    Because boiler feed water from cogeneration plants has much lower return rates than 100% condensing power plants, industries usually have to treat proportionately more boiler make up water. Boiler feed water must be completely oxygen free and de-mineralized, and the higher the pressure the more critical the level of purity of the feed water. [5]

  5. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

    A high-efficiency condensing combination boiler provides both space heating and water heating, and is an increasingly popular choice in UK houses, accounting for over half of all new domestic boilers installed. [7]

  6. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

    The efficiency of a conventional steam–electric power plant, defined as energy produced by the plant divided by the heating value of the fuel consumed by it, is typically 33 to 48%, limited as all heat engines are by the laws of thermodynamics (See: Carnot cycle). The rest of the energy must leave the plant in the form of heat.

  7. Boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler

    A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated.The fluid does not necessarily boil.The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, [1] [page needed] [2] [page needed] including water heating, central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.
