There is no need of water storage in the internal structure of modular steam generator concurrent pipeline and the water volume is less than 30 litres, so the steam generator is free from the inspection and examination.

 

A steam boiler is a kind of heat-exchange equipment that uses the heat energy generated by fuel combustion to heat water into steam with a certain temperature and pressure, which is widely used in the production process of industrial enterprises. It belongs to special equipment, has high requirements for enterprise qualification and product safety, and requires annual inspection.
