steam generator
Water-to-mist converter
A steam generator is a device that produces steam, typically by heating water.
The term covers both large industrial boilers that power turbines in electrical plants and smaller units used in cleaning equipment, saunas, or fabric steamers.
In nuclear power plants, steam generators transfer heat from the reactor to create steam without radioactive water reaching the turbines.
