A steam generator is a type of boiler used to produce steam for climate control and potable water heating in railroad passenger cars. The output of a railroad steam generator is low-pressure, saturated steam that is passed through a system of pipes and conduits throughout the length of the train.
Even older railcars used hot steam for heating, supplied by a steam locomotive. In the period when both steam and electric locomotives ran, some diesel and electric locomotives also had steam boilers fitted, there were also steam generator cars in use and some cars were fitted with coal- or oil-fired boiler. Later, remaining steam locomotives ...
The steam generator or steam boiler is an integral component of a steam engine when considered as a prime mover. However it needs to be treated separately, as to some extent a variety of generator types can be combined with a variety of engine units. A boiler incorporates a firebox or furnace in order to burn the fuel and generate heat.
Factorio is a construction and management simulation game developed and published by Czech studio Wube Software. The game was announced via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2013 and released for Windows , macOS , and Linux on 14 August 2020 following an early access phase, which was made available on 25 February 2016.
A steam generator on a ship is an auxiliary boiler which draws high-pressure superheated steam from the vessel's propulsion system [1] to generate low pressure saturated steam. This secondary steam is then used to power auxiliary shipboard engines driving winches or pumps, or to meet any steam requirement that does not require superheating ...
The term rolling stock in the rail transport industry refers to railway vehicles, including both powered and unpowered vehicles: for example, locomotives, freight and passenger cars (or coaches), and non-revenue cars. Passenger vehicles can be un-powered, or self-propelled, single or multiple units. [1] [2] [3] [4]
In a Velox steam generator used for electrical generation, flue gases from the combustion chamber are used to turn a gas turbine which is connected to a compressor which together make up the charging set. The compressor increases the flow of hot air which increases the rate of heat transfer to the water in the boiler tubes causing more steam to ...
Besides being an inventor and manufacturer, Leon Serpollet became the first driver of a non-electrically powered car to hold the Land Speed Record.His ovoid steam car Œuf de Pâques (Easter Egg) reached a speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) over the flying kilometre on the Promenade des Anglais at Nice, France on April 13, 1902, exceeding the 1899 record of Camille Jenatzy's La Jamais Contente.
