Boiler is an energy conversion equipment. The energy input to the boiler is in the form of chemical energy, electric energy and heat energy of high-temperature flue gas in fuel. After the conversion of the boiler, steam, high-temperature water or organic heat carrier with certain heat energy are exported.
The original meaning of pot refers to the water container heated on the fire, and the furnace refers to the place where fuel is burned. Boiler consists of pot and furnace.
Hot water or steam generated in boilers can directly provide the necessary heat energy for industrial production and people's lives. It can also be converted into mechanical energy through steam power devices or into electrical energy through generators. Boilers that provide hot water are called hot water boilers. They are mainly used in daily life and also in industrial production. Boilers that produce steam are called steam boilers, often referred to as boilers, and are mostly used in thermal power plants, ships, locomotives and industrial and mining enterprises.
