A calorifier produces hot water, not steam, whilst a steam generator obviously produces steam
The primary difference between a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and a boiling water reactor (BWR) is that in the BWR, water is actually boiled, and the steam is used to drive a steam turbine, while in the PWR, the primary coolant is not allowed to boil, but is circulated in a closed loop to boil water in a steam generator. The BWR circulates primary coolant through the steam turbine in a closed loop. The PWR contains the primary coolant in a loop that includes the steam generator, and not the steam turbine.
STG stands for Steam turbine generator. It is a type of power plant that generates electricity by using steam to drive a turbine connected to a generator. The turbine converts the thermal energy in the steam into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy by the generator.
Nuclear power plants use steam to turn a turbine that is connected to a generator. The steam is produced by heat generated from the nuclear fission process within the reactor. As the steam passes through the turbine, it causes the blades to spin, which in turn rotates the generator to produce electricity.
Another way a generator can produce electricity is through a steam turbine. Steam is created by heating water using various energy sources such as coal, natural gas, or nuclear reactions. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
A set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant is called a turbine. The steam produced by boiling water is used to drive the turbine blades, converting the thermal energy into mechanical energy to rotate the generator and produce electricity.
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...

The water heater has an electric heating element that is responsible to make the water hot if submerged to water. While the Calorifier is composed of steam coil where the steam from boiler passes through, is responsible to make the water hot if it get contact to the steam coil.
It takes pressurized steam to move the Pistons in a steam train. It takes a generator to produce electricity to power the motors on his (trucks) wheels on an electric train.
In a way. It is the difference between temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the steam turbine (generically, a 'heat engine') which results in the turbine spinning -this, in turn, causes the generator to spin.
Generator
calorifier contains the number of coils through which steam flows. Steam from steam boiler goes to kitchen,laundry and for calorifier.Around these steam coils,water is flowing which needs to be heated. as u know temp of steam would be more than 100 deg,it heats the water which comes in contact with these coils . in most of the calorifiers,a set point mechanism is fitted which cuts the flow of steam whenrequired temp of water has attained

Both temperatures are related to the saturation temperature in the steam drum of a heat recovery steam generator. The approach temperature is the water temperature at the economizer outlet, which in many analyses is assumed to be equal to the saturation temperature for simplicity. The "pinch point temperature difference" is the difference between the saturation temperature and the gas temperature at the economizer inlet.
The source of the thermal energy is obviously completely different, but the steam side, turbo-generator, etc is very similar.
You say a steam generator. The equipment is actually a steam driven turbine coupled to a generator. Steam from the thermal source, either fossil fired or nuclear, drives the turbine which is mechanically coupled to the generator which produces the electrical output
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
