  • OverviewHow to Generate Steam Whether you want to generate steam for passive use, such as sterilization, or to harness its force to run an engine, steam requires that one heat water to boiling. Passive Steam. Fill a metal container with 1 pint of water. Place the container of water on a heat source, such as a kitchen stove or hot plate. Cover the container with a lid to accelerate the heating process. The type of metal …

  Steam Generator versus Steam Boiler - AB&

  • OverviewIn steam heating system, the steam boiler (including the steam generator boiler) is connected to the consumers through the steam and condensate piping. When the steam is applied to the consumers, it condensates and thereby releases a high amount of latent heat described above. The condensate (which is hot water) can then be returned to the feed water tank, -from where it again is pumped and provided …

  Steam Generator vs. Steam Boiler | Powerhou

  • ApplicationsThe boiler tubes in the watertube design carry the heated water inside the tubes between the lower drum (mud drum) and upper drums (steam drum), with the generated steam accumulating in the upper drum.

Steam Boiler A steam boiler is a closed vessel, generally made of steel, in which water is heated by some source of heat produced by combustion of fuel and ultimately to generate steam.

Fuel is burned inside the furnace, creating hot gas which heats water in the steam-generating tubes. In smaller boilers, additional generating tubes are separate in the furnace, while larger utility boilers rely on the water-filled tubes that make up the walls of the furnace to generate steam. The heated water then rises into the steam drum.

The boiler with an economizer generates 100,000 lb/h of saturated steam at 400 psig using natural gas. At 100% load, the exit gas temperature is 320 °F. Excess air is 15%. The various losses (per ASME PTC 4.1) are shown along with the efficiency.
