The main feature of this boiler is that it is equipped with a heating system using steam. The purpose of global power generation through expansion is to work with dry steam at high pressure. To obtain dry steam, the expansion process involves initial steam heating, which can be done in two stages. In this first phase of superheating, there will be a relatively small increase in temperature. As the system operates at high pressure, the steam temperature before reheating is close to the critical temperature
