Steam Generators and Combustion Equipments Quiz

A steam generator generates steam at the desired rate at the desired pressure and temperature by running fuel in its furnace.

Components of a steam generator include furnace, superheater, reheater, boiler or evaporator, economizer, air preheater, pulverizers, burners, fans, stokers, dust collectors, precipitators, ash handling equipment, and chimney/stack.

The boiler or evaporator is responsible for the phase change or boiling from liquid (water) to vapor (steam) at constant pressure and temperature.
