3 Uses for our Steam Boilers

Steam boilers, also known as steam generators, are devices that generate steam whenever it needs to be used. The applications for steam boilers vary, they are very efficient and can be used as portable generators for steam locomotives, portable engines and steam-powered road vehicles.

Before we look further into what these devices are used for, we need to have a better understanding of what they are and how they work.

 

What are steam boilers/generators and how do they work?

The difference in the name is that older models are known as steam boilers whereas modern versions are referred to as steam generators. This is because of the difference in pressure and temperature that these devices work with.

Essentially, steam generators generate steam by heating water to ridiculous temperatures. This steam can then be used to generate electricity (using steam turbines), as well as for humidification and sterilisation.

There are several types of steam generators in the market, but we’ll only focus on what our Topsteam range of steam generators can do.
