Since steam is water evaporating, water that becomes steam may not be clean. So, when the steam goes thru, some of the dirt may come off along with the steam when the steam becomes water.Creating deposits in the steam vents.
It is initially just normal mains water, but then it is purified by a demineralisation plant, so that water turning to steam does not leave deposits in the steam raising units or in the reactor in the case of a BWR. The steam is condensed to water after going through the turbine, and then recirculates, so the water makeup only has to replace loses due to leakage.
at 100 degrees liquid water will go to steam and steam will go to liquid water
lead does not react with water or steam
Assuming the steam is saturated (contains both water and steam), at 100 psi steam temperature would be around 338°F.
Steam is the gaseous state of water, formed when water is heated to its boiling point and vaporizes.
Deposits can form in steam vents due to the presence of mineral-rich water in the surrounding area. When the steam cools and condenses, minerals in the water are left behind, eventually building up to form deposits. The specific composition of the minerals present in the water will determine the type of deposit that forms.

A steam generator iron is more time efficient than a traditional iron. It could reduce the time needed for ironing with 50%. However, many people who are used to traditional irons might prefer those above the steam generator irons.
no - steam is water - water is good.
CLR is a common choice for cleaning mineral deposits in household appliances, but it is not recommended for use in steam irons. The chemicals in CLR can be harsh and may damage the internal components of the iron. It is best to use a mixture of water and vinegar or a specifically formulated iron cleaner to clean the reservoir of a steam iron.
There is no specific collective noun for steam engines, in which case any noun suitable for the context will work; for example a collection of steam engines, a display of steam engines, a museum of steam engines, etc.
i personally think that the best brand of steam iron is the old generation deLonghi
This is recommended for cleaning steam irons and should work for steamers too: Fill the chamber with equal parts of white vinegar and distilled water. Heat for about 4 minutes to loosen the deposits. If possible drain and rinse the chamber, if not just use with the cleaning solution still inside the chamber.
Steam generator irons are very popular and used frequently in the United Kingdom. One can find reviews by looking at the Review Centre site or at the All Brands site.
A hundred years ago irons were made of solid metal. They were set to warm (usually on an open fire) and then used to press clothes. Electric irons first appeared early in the Twentieth Century, and didn't become commonplace in working-class households until the 1940's. But once electric irons were widespread, electric steam irons became a possibility (steam irons became commonplace during the 1960's). Ironing is much easier these days.
Mineral deposits from use of hard water.
To remove calcium deposits in an iron, you can mix equal parts of white vinegar and water, pour the solution into the iron's water reservoir, and then turn on the iron to the highest steam setting. Once the iron is heated up, press the steam button to release the solution. Repeat this process until the calcium deposits are loosened and flushed out. Remember to flush the iron with clean water afterwards to ensure no vinegar residue remains.
