In order to more readily understand a steam booster we should cover the basic construction of an average steam booster which would be as follows: A series of copper tubings or coils are fastened together so that a 120° water can be supplied at one end and (if all other requirements are met) 180° water will pass through the other end. This series of coils is placed inside a heavy metal container, the container also has an inlet and an outlet, into which we pass live steam at the required pressures. The steam circulates around the coils and losing its heat by transferring its high temperature to the lower temperature water, soon condensation accumulates at the bottom of the container. The condensation then passes through the discharge opening into either a waste line or what is known as a return line which is piped directly to the boiler where it is again heated into steam for recycling through the very same booster. 1, record 2, English, - steam%20booster

Pour mieux comprendre le fonctionnement d’un réchauffeur à vapeur, voici la description d’un appareil moyen. Une série de tubes ou de serpentins en cuivre, reliés les uns aux autres, admettent de l'eau à 120°F à une extrémité et(toutes les autres exigences étant par ailleurs satisfaites), fournissent de l'eau à 180°F à l'autre extrémité. Ces serpentins se trouvent à l'intérieur d’un contenant en métal lourd, lui-même muni d’une admission et d’une sortie, et dans lequel passe de la vapeur vive à la pression requise. La vapeur circule autour des serpentins, transmettant sa chaleur à l'eau dont la température est moins élevée; cet échange de chaleur provoque la condensation de la vapeur. L'eau de condensation qui s’accumule rapidement au fond du contenant, passe ensuite dans l'ouverture de décharge, à laquelle est raccordée soit une canalisation d’évacuation, soit ce qu'on a convenu d’appeler une canalisation de retour de condensats, elle-même directement reliée à la chaudière, où elle est transformée de nouveau en vapeur, pour ensuite être réutilisée dans le réchauffeur. 1, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9chauffeur%20%C3%A0%20vapeur
