The boiler, in industry, is a machine or engineering device designed to generate steam. This steam is generated through a heat transfer at constant pressure, in which the fluid, originally in a liquid state, is heated and changes its phase to saturated steam.
The boiler is a particular case in which a set of heat exchangers is raised to high temperatures, in which a phase change occurs. In addition, it is a pressure vessel, so it is built with special steels for this function.
The following is a series of technical documents published by SINCAL with the intention of disseminating information about the science related to steam boilers.
