Trevithick was the first to successfully use high-pressure steam (then known as "strong" steam). Until ca. 1800, the weakness of existing boilers coupled with the influence of James Watt had generally restricted steam boilers to very low pressures or "weak" steam.

Heat generation can be done at power plants equipped with extraction-condensing steam turbines. In conventional steam generators, high-pressure steam is produced in a boiler, which is called live steam. This steam passes through the steam turbine, and after full

22.2.3.1 Condensing steam cycle. The condensing steam cycle is shown diagrammatically in Figure 22.8. The fuel is fired in a boiler which converts the heat released from combustion to steam at high pressure and temperature. This steam is then expanded through …

Example I The steam cost example outline below assumes use of one steam generator (boiler), a single fuel, and one steam pressure. The unloaded steam cost example calculation factors in deaerator feedwater Btu content, which does not consider make-up water

Steam generators are very rapid acting (produce steam within seconds). Superheated steam often leads to a reduction in the number of boilers, a reduction in the feed water usage, reduction in boiler load, improvement in the process timing, a reduction in the reagents, and …
