FUNCTION
a closed vessel in which a liquid
(usually water) is heated under pressure to generate a gas
(usually steam)
CLASSIFIED TO:
HIGH PRESSURE: constructed to operate above the limits set for low-pressure boilers, and are typically used for power generation. LOW PRESSURE: limited to a maximum working pressure of 15 psig (pound-force per square inch gauge) for steam and 160 psig for hot water
A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications •
