[0002] A steam generator is a heat energy conversion device that heats the water flowing in the pipe into steam and quickly outputs the steam to the outside. As the amount of steam increases, its volume and water capacity must also increase. When the water capacity exceeds 30L, it falls into the category of boilers of special equipment that need to be included in the national quality and technical supervision and management. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of use, the state limits the total volume to less than 30 liters. Only when it is below 30 liters can the safety of use and the stability of steam output be guaranteed.
