Why are steam boilers in Kazakhstan so in demand?

Already several hundred years ago, since the creation of the world's first steam engine, water steam has been used as the main source of energy that drives all machines in large industrial enterprises, as well as as a coolant for heating rooms. Currently, steam boilers are found in many sectors of the energy and industrial sectors of Kazakhstan, where they have proven themselves to be a cheap and reliable technology for producing clean energy needed at many stages of production.

Where are steam boilers used?

The advantages of using installations based on the operation of steam boilers have been recognized in many sectors of the economy and industry. Water vapor is used as an energy source:

• massively in the food industry and especially in bakeries and meat factories,
• in places where processes related to the disposal of animal waste are carried out,
• as well as in enterprises where food intended for children is produced,
• at vegetable and fruit processing enterprises.

They are also used in the textile industry, equipped with dryers that produce materials used in clothing. The pharmaceutical industry also relies on the operation of steam boilers. They find their use in drug and vaccine production processes. They are also used in sterilization and disposal of expired medications. Water vapor is also used as a thermodynamic factor in the paper industry and in printing plants where printing drying equipment operates.

Steam boilers are used by agricultural producers and wood processing enterprises in Kazakhstan. The benefits of steam technology have also been appreciated by the petroleum and chemical industries, using steam for the storage and distribution of heavy oils and chemical reactors. In addition, steam boilers are also equipped in hospitals, laundry, kitchens, hotels and other similar premises and buildings where water vapor is used mainly for heating purposes.

How does a steam boiler work?

A steam boiler is a closed vessel whose job is to produce water vapor at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. Water vapor is used as a thermodynamic factor in steam turbines and for heating purposes in many industrial processes, as well as for residential heating. The hot gases needed to create steam are produced by burning a fuel (usually coal) in a firebox.
