Today as the world has evolved in many aspects of life, we look towards one thing to keep us going. Electricity and energy. Many people have now upgraded to solar panels, wind mills and other various ways to generate energy more efficiently. When it comes to heating our house, running factory machines, using tools in our own garage, we need electricity and/or energy in order for these things to run. One way to improve on using our electricity and/or energy more efficiently is by using a steam generator. Today there are many steam generator for sale. If you would like to take a look at the main functions of a steam generator click here. 

In and industrial setting there are many ways that a steam generator would become useful. For example dams are used for generating energy that is then passed on to your house or to a power plant. Some dams use steam generators to raise and lower the flood gates in order to pass the water from one side of the dam to the other while producing energy and electricity. 

Steam generators are general speaking easy to understand. Hot oil is passed through tubes cooled by cold water to produce steam. At most times the steam can reach temperatures of up to 374 degrees Celsius. That’s hot! The steam is then pushed through a series of pipes and works its self to the steam turbine. The steam turbine can have many blades for which the steam turns and then is generated into electricity and energy to be passed on to consumers like our self’s. 

From the source Wikipedia, this is what a steam generator is. A steam generator is a form of low water-content boiler, similar to a flash steam boiler. The usual construction is as a spiral coil of water-tube, arranged as a single, or mono-tube, coil. Circulation is once-through and pumped under pressure, as a forced-circulation boiler.[1] The narrow-tube construction, without any large-diameter drums or tanks, means that they are safe from the effects of explosion,[note 1] even if worked at high pressures.[2] The pump flow rate is adjustable, according to the quantity of steam required at that time. The burner output is throttled to maintain a constant working temperature. The burner output required varies according to the quantity of water being evaporated: this can be either adjusted by open-loop control according to the pump throughput, or by a closed-loop control to maintain the measured temperature. 

Now that we have a understanding about what a steam generator is we can have a some what clear understand about how a dam or power plant can convert energy. With so much going on in today’s world and so many ways to pollute the environment, I believe its a good idea to use a steam generator in order to be more proficient in helping protect the world we live in. Also this is a major factor for industrial and manufacturing factories who are looking for better methods of running machines.
