STEAM GENERATION REGULATION The steam is produced in the steam tank by resistive heating element technology. An external or the internal regulator for connection as required control the steam production fully variably from 3 to 100%. FLUSHING - NHSC ONLY The evaporation process increases the concentration of minerals in the water of the steam cylin[...]
