In order to do this, steam systems consist of four main parts. Fuel System – provides chemical energy to the boiler (or combustion turbine if a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is used). Boiler – converts the fuel’s chemical energy to thermal energy. Distribution – conveys steam to the point of use.
Second, what is steam? The English language is a little fuzzy here. Some definitions say that any water vapor (H 2O in gaseous form instead of liquid) is steam. By that definition, the atmosphere itself is a very low-temperature steam engine. Other definitions say that steam is water vapor if the water vapor happens to be boiling.

Using the wrong materials in a steam plant can increase the potential for corrosion, scaling, and deposition. For example, water and steam chemistry control is much simpler and more efficient when copper alloys are avoided throughout the cycle. Control Of copper-alloy corrosion requires boiler, feedwater, and condensate treat- ment chemicals.

The main objective of a steam power station is to generate electrical power. In a steam power station, the electrical energy is produced according to the principle of “external combustion,” where the “heat of combustion” of the fuel is transferred to a prime mover by a “working medium.”

1. STEAM BOILER SYSTEMS. 1.1 STEAM BOILER SYSTEM DEFINED. A steam boiler is an enclosed vessel that holds water and is heated by an external source that converts the water to steam. All steam boilers contain tubes that separate the water from the heat source. Steam boilers are described in this publication. 1.1.1 TYPES OF STEAM BOILERS.
