Une chaudière comporte généralement un brûleur qui convertit le combustible en chaleur, un échangeur de chaleur qui transfère la chaleur à de l'eau ou à de la vapeur, et un réservoir contenant l'eau à chauffer. L'évaporation de l'eau à la suite du chauffage entraîne une concentration progressive de solides dissous. [...] Pour contrôler la concentration excessive des solides dissous, des purges de surfaces sont effectuées, généralement en continu. [...] l'eau purgée, qui est très chaude, est souvent retenue dans un bassin et refroidie par ajout d’eau froide du robinet avant d’être envoyée à l'égout. 2, record 1, French, - eau%20purg%C3%A9e
