1. THE FUNDAMENTALS OF STEAM GENERATION

Steam, in addition to electricity, is an excellent medium for efficiently transporting energy from where it is generated in a steam boiler to where it is used – the steam consumer. The steam consumer’s task is to indirectly provide heat for thermal processes using heat exchangers - also known as heat transmitters. 

Heat exchangers transfer heat from the steam to the medium to be heated through a partition wall. If necessary, it is also possible to feed steam directly into the product without using a heat exchanger so that the heat from the steam can be absorbed into the product.
