2. Advanced steam technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_steam_technology

   This project mainly includes combined electrical generation and heating systems for private homes and small villages burning wood or bamboo chips. This is intended to replace 2-stroke donkey engines and small diesel power plants. Drastic reduction in noise level is one immediate benefit of a steam-powered small plant.

3. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

   Worldwide, most electric power is produced by steam–electric power plants. [1] The only widely used alternatives are photovoltaics, direct mechanical power conversion as found in hydroelectric and wind turbine power as well as some more exotic applications like tidal power or wave power and finally some forms of geothermal power plants.

4. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

   Electric steam boiler on the training ship Golden Bear. An electric steam boiler is a type of boiler where the steam is generated using electricity, rather than through the combustion of a fuel source. Such boilers are used to generate steam for process purposes in many locations, for example laundries, food processing factories and hospitals ...

5. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

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

   Supercritical steam generators are frequently used for the production of electric power. They operate at supercritical pressure. In contrast to a "subcritical boiler", a supercritical steam generator operates at such a high pressure (over 3,200 psi or 22.06 MPa) that actual boiling ceases to occur, the boiler has no liquid water - steam separation.

6. List of boiler types by manufacturer - Wikipedia

   Monotube steam generator: A single tube, usually in a multi-layer spiral, that forms a once-through steam generator. The first of these was the Herreshoff steam generator of 1873. [38] Multi-tube boiler: fire-tube boiler with multiple small fire-tubes, rather than a single large flue.

7. Steam generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator

   Steam generator (auxiliary boiler), a steam-powered boiler used on ships to produce a low-pressure steam, heated by a high-pressure steam supply rather than a flame. Steam generator (boiler), an oil- or gas-fired boiler, based on a low-water content monotube coil. Steam generator (nuclear power), a heat exchanger in a pressurized water nuclear ...
