    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 ...

[16] Climax boiler: A vertical water-tube boiler with many long spiral coils around a central steam-and-water drum.

  4. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

    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. Although they are more expensive to run than gas-fired ...

  5. Central heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

    A steam heating system takes advantage of the high latent heat which is given off when steam condenses to liquid water. In a steam heating system, each room is equipped with a radiator which is connected to a source of low-pressure steam (a boiler). Steam entering the radiator condenses and gives up its latent heat, returning to liquid water.

  6. Package boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_boiler

    A package boiler is a factory-made boiler. Package boilers are available in a range of standard designs. Package boilers are used for heating and act as a steam generator for small power purposes such as self-powered industrial plants. Package boilers are low pressure designs. A low pressure means low temperature water in the heat exchanger.

  7. Electrode boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrode_boiler

    The most common type of electrode boiler pumps water from the lower part of the vessel to an internal header that has nozzles that allow the water to flow to electrodes. Generally the working pressure is maintained at 10 bar. If more pressure is needed (more steam) the controls speed up the pump to increase flow through additional nozzles.
