boilers sometimes do use water only for cleaning and drying clothes
The three basic types of low pressure boilers are fire tube boilers, water tube boilers, and cast iron sectional boilers. Fire tube boilers heat water by circulating hot gases through tubes, water tube boilers circulate water through tubes that are heated externally, and cast iron sectional boilers have multiple sections that heat water as it flows through them.
dimineralised water is also preferable to tap water for use in model steam engine boilers and model engines of other types. Mineral build-up resulting from the use of tap water in model boilers can severely reduce the efficiency of the boilers if run for long periods. This build-up is called boiler scale.
Sediment deposition is less in water tube boilers compared to fire tube boilers because water tube boilers have a higher water velocity that helps prevent sediment from settling on the tubes. Additionally, the design of water tube boilers allows for easier removal of any sediment that does accumulate.
it is preferable for power stations to use soft water in their boilers because there is calcium carbonate in it and it does not create scale or scum
Of course a water heater thermostat would be defective as water heaters / hydronic boilers would use an Aqua Stat
Steam boilers work by boiling water to generate steam. The steam then is used to heat the engine.
Coal or wood fired boilers or just heat water on the stove. A wood stove most likely.
Water softened by the Zeolite process is unfit for use in boilers because Zeolite softening does not remove all the hardness ions from the water. The residual hardness ions can lead to scale formation on the boiler's heating surfaces, reducing efficiency and potentially causing equipment damage. Additionally, Zeolite softening may introduce sodium ions into the water, which can lead to corrosion in the boiler system.
fire tubes or water tubes
boiler use many type of working fluids like water, mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid. hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...
What gas boilers alleviates the need for a CWSC F and E cistern and hot water storage vessel?
