listen to the pronunciation of boilers
English - English
Steam generating units used aboard ship to provide steam for propulsion (and) for heating and other auxiliary purposes
plural of boiler
A high temperature water heater used for the generation of steam Silicates are sometimes used as corrosion inhibitors in this application
Steam generating units used aboard ship to provide steam for propulsion or for heating and other auxiliary purposes
The common elements include: the furnace, the boiler, the super-heat section (if applicable), and various heat-recovery sections Boilers can be fired with a variety of materials from the conventional -- coal, gas, and oil -- to the less usual -- carbon monoxide, municipal waste, and various wood and chemical by-products Industrial boilers come in a wide variety of sizes and configurations
An enclosed vessel in which water is heated and circulated, either as hot water or steam, for heating or power
boiler
A fuel burning apparatus in which water is boiled to produce steam for space heating, power generation, or industrial processes. (more precisely) An apparatus in which a heat source other than a hot liquid or steam (most commonly burning fuel, exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine or gas turbine, waste heat from a process, solar energy or electricity) is used to boil water (or rarely another liquid), under pressure to provide steam (or other gas) for use as a heat source in calorifiers, heat exchangers or heat emitters, or for use directly for humidification, in an industrial process, or to power steam turbines

Just aligning all the paragraphs of 'boiler text' is tedious but trying to insert values in alignment is impossible!.

boiler
A closed container or vessel in which water is converted to pressurized steam
boiler

boiler
A boiler is not a water heater When you see the word "boiler" or the phrase "hot water boiler system" in this website or in our publications, this refers to a gas-fired space heating system that distributes hot water through pipes to radiators or baseboards
boiler
a kitchen vessel for steaming or boiling food
boiler
1 A type of space heating system that heats water or produces steam The heated water or steam is circulated throughout a home or building using pipes and radiators 2 Equipment or vessel that heats water or produces steam for any purpose
boiler
Two types of marine boilers existed In the older Scottish boiler, water surrounds an internal fire-box and flame-tubes (similar to the arrangement on a steam locomotive) The flame-tubes, through which the fire's hot gasses escape, much increase the area for heat exchange Conversely, the more modern water-tube boiler heats its water inside many tubes that are surrounded by the fire's burning gasses Water-tubes' heat exchange area is larger than that of flame-tubes and the newer boiler contains less water
boiler
A heating device which heats hot water or creates steam for circulation in heating pipes, radiators, baseboards or convectors
boiler
Closed container in which a liquid may be heated and vaporized
boiler
A pressurized system in which water is vaporized to steam by heat transfer from fuel combustion Steam thus generated may be used directly as a heating medium or converted to mechanical energy
boiler
{i} hot water heater
boiler
This is the heart of the engine It contains the firebox where the fuel is burnt to produce hot gases These gases pass through tubes which run the length of the barrel of the boiler and are surrounded by water which is thus heated to produce the steam that is used to propel the engine
boiler
Device used for producing hot water for either space heating or domestic hot water
boiler
That part of a furnace in which steam is generated for heating or producting power
boiler
A device for generating steam for power, processing, or heating purposes; or hot water for heating purposes or hot water supply Heat from an external combustion source is transmitted to a fluid contained within the tubes found in the boiler shell This fluid is delivered to an end-use at a desired pressure, temperature, and quality
boiler
The large metal drum on a steam locomotive, where the water is turned into steam
boiler
A large furnace in which water-filled tubes are heated to produce steam
boiler
A device for generating steam for power, processing, or heating purposes or for producing hot water for heating purposes or hot water supply Heat from an external combustion source is transmitted to a fluid contained within the tubes in the boiler shell This fluid is delivered to an end-use at a desired pressure, temperature, and quality
boiler
A fuel burning apparatus in which water is heated to be used for space heating, swimming pool heating, domestic hot water or industrial processes. (more precisely) An apparatus in which a heat source other than a hot liquid or steam (most commonly burning fuel, exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine or gas turbine, waste heat from a process, solar energy or electricity) is used to heat water (or rarely another liquid), normally in a closed recirculating system under pressure for use as a heat source in calorifiers, heat exchangers or heat emitters, or less commonly (usage synonymous with hot water heater), with partial or no recirculation, for use directly as domestic hot water or process hot water
boiler
Less commonly, a hot water heater
boiler
An appliance designed to heat water or generate steam (see "Packaged boiler" )
boiler
A boiler is a device which burns gas, oil, electricity, or coal in order to provide hot water, especially for the central heating in a building. S3 a container for boiling water that is part of a steam engine, or is used to provide heating in a house. Apparatus for converting a liquid to vapour. A boiler consists of a furnace in which fuel is burned, surfaces to transmit heat from the combustion products to the water (or other liquid), and a space where steam (or vapour) can form and collect. A conventional boiler burns a fossil fuel or waste fuel; a nuclear reactor may instead supply the heat. There are two types of conventional steam boiler. In a fire-tube boiler, the water surrounds the steel tubes through which hot gases from the furnace flow; easy to install and operate, fire-tube boilers are widely used to heat buildings and to provide power for factory processes, as well as in steam locomotives. In a water-tube boiler, the water is inside tubes, with the hot furnace gases circulating outside the tubes; water-tube boilers, which produce more and hotter steam, are used in ships and factories. The largest are found in the central-station power plants of public utilities; other large units are used in steel mills, paper mills, oil refineries, and chemical plants. See also steam engine
boiler
Any device used to burn fuel to heat water for generating steam
boiler
A water heater in which the water should not boil A boiler is used for the production of domestic hot water and hot water for central heating
boiler
A strong metallic vessel, usually of wrought iron plates riveted together, or a composite structure variously formed, in which steam is generated for driving engines, or for heating, cooking, or other purposes
boiler
A unit based to heat water to produce steam for cooking and distillation processes
boiler
A container in which a liquid may be heated using any heat source When the liquid is heated to the point that vapor forms and is used as the circulation medium, it is called a steam boiler
