The output of steam generators is typically described in terms of:

The output of steam generators is typically described in terms of maximum continuous output in kg/h because this measurement reflects the ability of the steam generator to produce steam over an extended period while maintaining efficiency and performance. This metric is crucial for operators and engineers, as it directly relates to the operational capacity of the steam generator and allows for better planning and integration into the overall system, such as power plants or industrial processes.

By specifying the output in kilograms per hour, it provides a clear and standardized approach to assess and compare different steam generators. This helps in evaluating their performance under continuous operation, ensuring that they can meet the demands of the system during peak load conditions.

In contrast, average output in meters per minute would not give a practical indication of steam production, as it combines a linear measure (meters) with a time component (minutes) that doesn’t relate to steam generation directly. Total fuel consumption per hour would provide information about efficiency rather than output capacity, and operating temperature in Celsius does not directly indicate how much steam the generator produces, as it focuses on thermal parameters rather than output capability.
