Read the technical differences and application value of steam generators and conventional boilers.
In industrial production and commercial operations, steam systems are almost indispensable core energy equipment. When enterprises are preparing to purchase steam equipment, they often encounter two seemingly similar but fundamentally different solutions:
Steam Generator and Steam Boiler.
Both can supply steam, but there are fundamental differences in structure, operating method, investment cost, safety, energy efficiency and application scene.
The right choice directly determines energy costs and production stability over the next decade.
In this article, we will help you understand the difference between the two equipment and find the best solution for your production needs.
The steam generator is a compact, high-efficiency, high-speed steam production facility.
Like modern electromagnetic steam generators.
The water pump continuously feeds the stainless steel coil with water.
Electromagnetic induction generates a high weekly magnetic field outside the coil.
The main body of the disk tube heats up rapidly.
The water is rapidly absorbed into steam in the tube.
Steam is supplied directly from export for production.
Typical characteristics:
Single tube structure, one pass design (Once through)
Almost no need for water storage
Fast start-up speed, can supply steam at full load in a few minutes
Simple structure and low maintenance cost
Very suitable for small and medium-sized steam consumption, intermittent production, and rapid start-up scenarios.
Steam boilers are large-scale, continuous, and high-load steam production systems that are mainly used in industrial situations where steam volume is required.
Flames and hot smoke flow through the tube, water surrounds the tube, and heat conduction heats the water to boil and generates steam.
Water flows through the tube and flames and smoke are heated outside the tube, making them suitable for applications with higher pressure and greater evaporation.
The boiler system is complex and large, and the operation involves high temperature, high pressure, fuel system and safety supervision and management.
It's electromagnetic induction, not burning, not burning.
Electricity and water are completely separated, so there's no risk of explosion.
There's no high capacity water storage system, and there's very little boilerlevel safety.
From cold to rated steam output in a matter of minutes.
Suitable for intermittent production, test lines and emergency gas.
The conversion efficiency from electricity to thermal energy can reach more than 98%.
On demand, with very little energy to shut down.
Significantly reduce the company's overall energy cost.
No need for boiler room, no need for chimney
Modular design, easy to move
Especially suitable for factories with limited space
Maintenance of non fuel system
No boiler license and cost of on duty personnel
Long maintenance cycle and low failure rate
Steam boilers still have irreplaceability in the following scenarios:
Unit time requires a large evaporation capacity
24-hour continuous high load operation
The old factory area with a mature boiler supporting system has been built
For large centralized steam supply factories, boilers are still an important choice.
In most small and medium production lines, steam generators offer outstanding overall economics and operational management.
Comparison dimensional steam generator conventional boiler
There is a high risk of safety and high pressure.
The startup speed is minutes, hours.
Low and high investment costs.
Running costs are cheap and expensive.
It's a small space.
Complex management.
