Steam boilers
Low-pressure boilers (up to 15 lb / in
2
gauge) are generally found in
commercial, apartment house, and single-unit industrial facilities.
They are used for space heating and domestic hot water, through end-
use heat exchangers. Medium-pressure steam applications (15 to 150
lb / in
2
gauge) are generally found in campus-type facilities, hospitals,
and industrial plants where there are significant process require-
ments. Power generation high-pressure steam boilers operate in the
range of 150 to 900 lb / in
2
gauge or more with some degree of super-
