Understanding Boiler Basics
Boilers are apparatuses that convert liquid into vapor, consisting of a furnace or combustion zone, heat transmission surfaces, and a steam formation area.
The global industrial boiler market was worth $11 billion in 2024, according to Global Market Insights, and is expected to grow to $17.3 billion by 2034, representing a 4.5% annual growth rate.
A boiler's combustion zone or furnace is where heat is introduced, often through a direct fired unit with a burner that uses a fuel and air mixture.
