2. Steam generator (nuclear power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator_(nuclear...

   Vertical recirculating-type steam generator (typical of Westinghouse and Combustion Engineering-designed reactors) and components. In commercial power plants, there are two to four steam generators per reactor; each steam generator can measure up to 70 feet (21 m) in height and weigh as much as 800 tons.

3. Steam generator (boiler) - Wikipedia

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

   A steam generator is a form of low water-content boiler, similar to a flash steam boiler. The usual construction is as a spiral coil of water-tube , arranged as a single, or monotube , coil. Circulation is once-through and pumped under pressure, as a forced-circulation boiler . [ 1 ]

4. 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 ...

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. Supercritical steam generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_steam_generator

   A supercritical steam generator is a type of boiler that operates at supercritical pressure and temperature, frequently used in the production of electric power. In contrast to a subcritical boiler in which steam bubbles form, a supercritical steam generator operates above the critical pressure – 22 megapascals (3,200 psi ) and temperature ...

7. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

   A steam–electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam-driven: water is heated, evaporates, and spins a steam turbine which drives an electric generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser. The greatest variation in the design of steam–electric power plants is due ...
