steam generators
Water-to-mist converters
Steam generators are devices that produce steam, typically by heating water using fuel combustion, electricity, or nuclear reactions.
The term often distinguishes smaller, rapid-heating units from large conventional boilers: The plant's steam generators supply the turbines.
In nuclear power, steam generators transfer heat from the reactor to a secondary water system, keeping radioactive and non-radioactive water separate.
