Power Plant Boiler

The working principle of this system is basically that fuel—such as coal, gas, and others—is burned to generate heat energy. This heat is then used to heat water inside the boiler. The heated water changes phase into high-pressure steam, which is then used to drive a turbine.

It may sound simple, but in reality, there are quite a lot of components within this single system. Due to its complexity, this article will focus only on the components of a coal-fired boiler system.
