In order to minimise steam generation, excessive dilution with nitrogen is used.
The grate area of the firebox turned out to be very small; as a result its steam generation was not particularly satisfactory.
The amount of power required for steam generation varies depending on construction style.
More recent upgrades to the facility have focused on the internal equipment used for steam generation.
First parabolic trough commercial power plant based on direct steam generation.
The project will reduce steam generation operating costs and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
So the water is ideal for use for steam generation and washing.
Coal (and later fuel oil) steam generation was used to generate heat, power and electricity.
Mines also required a great deal of wood, for supports in mine tunnels, housing, and steam generation.
As Broken Hill is in a desert with little water and virtually no fuel, steam generation was an expensive option.
