BOILERS
MENDOZA
n the food sector, boilers
are used for sterilization
of utensils, containers and
preparation surfaces and
are even used in some
ood processing
processes.
Pyro tubulars. They have a
piping system that runs
through liquid containment
tanks. Pipes transport gas at
high temperatures and fluids,
when contact with the pipes
evaporate and form saturated
steam. They are boilers mainly
used in heating installations.

Boilers are termal machines specially designed to
generate steam that is used in different processes.
In the hospital and
pharmaceutical sector,
the use of a boiler is of
great importance as it is
used to sterilize
instrumentation by
moving to saturated
steam autoclaves.
Aqua tubulars. In these
boilers the fluid moves within
a piping system and can come
out at high pressures. They are
a type of boilers that is
distinguished by a large
capacity of steam generation
and are therefore the most
used in thermoelectric plants.

Main components of a boiler
Boilers reduce the environmental impact of
industrial activities on the environment, allow
industries to reduce costs for responsible use of
energy sources and, in the case of boilers, biodisel
can now be used to feed them, a cheaper
alternative than other fuels.

Industrial and service boilers are potentially

roducts.
Condensers are used in
applications as varied as steam
force plants, chemical process
plants and nuclear power plants
for space vehicles. The main
types are surface capacitors, jet
capacitors and evaporative
capacitors. The main types are
surface capacitors, jet capacitors
and evaporative capacitors.
Shell and Tube Heat
Exchangers: The units
known by this name are
essentially composed of
circular section tubes
mounted within a cylindrical
shell with their axes parallel
to the air of the shell.
Tube and Fin Heat
Exchanger: In order to
increase the exchange
surface and thermal transfer,
a huge variety of extended
surfaces (fins) are used.
Cooling towers: Coolin
towers have been wide
