A steam generator is a device that converts water into steam using heat. It is commonly used in various applications, including power generation, heating, and industrial processes. The steam produced can drive turbines to generate electricity or provide heat for buildings and manufacturing. In many cases, steam generators are part of larger systems, such as nuclear power plants or thermal power plants. They can operate at high pressures and temperatures, making them efficient for energy production. Safety features are essential to prevent accidents, ensuring that the steam generation process is controlled and reliable.
