1. Boiler

   The term boiler is used for a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated. The fluid does not necessarily boil. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation. The pressure vessel of a boiler is usually made of steel, or historically of wrought iron. Stainless steel is virtually prohibited for use in wetted parts of modern boilers, but is used often in superheater sections that will not be exposed to liquid boiler water. However electrically-heated stainless steel shell boilers are allowed under the European "Pressure Equipment Directive" for production of steam for sterilizers and disinfectors. In live steam models, copper or brass is often used because it is more easily fabricated in smaller size boilers. Historically, copper was often used for fireboxes, because of its better formability and higher thermal conductivity; however, in more recent times, the high price of copper often makes this an uneconomic choice and cheaper substitutes are used instead.
