Water boils at different temperatures depending on pressure. In an enclosed container where pressure can build up water can be made to boil at nearly 1000 degrees F. The reverse is also true, at lower pressures water will boil at a temperature less than 212 F. Where I live water boils at about 208 F.

Electric power plants and naval vessels take advantage of this by boiling the water at a higher temperature. This very hot steam has more energy and makes the power plant more efficient.
