Générateur; chaudière: Certains auteurs semblent employer indifféremment ces termes, peu importe l'importance de l'appareil. Cependant, de façon générale, «générateur» serait réservé aux «appareils de chauffage de très grande importance»; dans d'autres cas, le terme «générateur», prendrait le sens général «d'appareil qui produit de la chaleur». 4, record 1, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20tubes%20d%27eau
