2. Steam generator (boiler) - Wikipedia

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

   The Clayton steam generator is similar to the Stone-Vapor, but the burner and flow directions are reversed. The heating coil is mounted within a simple cylindrical casing. Rather than helical, cylindrical layers, the Clayton coils are arranged as layers of flat spirals. Water is pumped into the top layers and forced downwards.

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 ...

   Spanner boilers were also known for their use as train-heating boilers. spherical boiler: [55] Stanley steam-car boiler: an extremely compact vertical multitubular fire-tube boiler, used in the Stanley steam car. Steam generator: modern boilers, with very small volume in relation to their heating area. Boiling is thus almost instantaneous and ...

5. Heat recovery steam generator - Wikipedia

   They can use a gas turbine to produce high-reliability electricity for campus use. The HRSG can recover the heat from the gas turbine to produce steam/hot water for district heating or cooling. [1] Large ocean vessels (e.g., Emma Maersk) make use of heat recovery so that their oil-fired boilers can be shut down while underway. [1]

6. Package boiler - Wikipedia

   These boilers however are great with steam production due to the large volume inside the boiler and the surface area of the steam output. In order for these boilers to operate properly, they require a long warm-up process, and are prone to thermal shock of the boiler. These boilers can be rated up to 500,000 lb/hr. [2] The wall membrane of the ...

7. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

   Plants that use gas turbines to heat the water for conversion into steam use boilers known as heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). The exhaust heat from the gas turbines is used to make superheated steam that is then used in a conventional water-steam generation cycle, as described in the gas turbine combined-cycle plants section.
