# Industrial Specification: Steam Generator or Water Atomizer

## 1. Technical Definition
A device that produces steam or atomizes water to increase humidity levels in industrial environments.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-15 bar pressure, 100-200°C steam temperature, 0.1-5.0 L/min water atomization rate**. Failure boundary: **Pressure exceeding 18 bar causes structural deformation, steam temperature above 250°C initiates creep failure, water droplet size below 10μm leads to nozzle clogging**, Mechanism: **Thermal fatigue from cyclic heating/cooling (ΔT&gt;150°C), cavitation at vapor pressure &lt;0.023 bar, stress corrosion cracking at chloride concentration &gt;25 ppm**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **LMTD Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference**:

> **Primary Equation**: $Q = U \cdot A \cdot \Delta T_{lm}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Sizing validation for pasteurization and cooling tunnels.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| U | Heat Transfer Coeff | Engineering Constant |
| A | Area | Engineering Constant |
| \Delta T_{lm} | LMTD | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Water hardness exceeding 120 mg/L CaCO3 | 8 | Scale accumulation reducing heat transfer efficiency by &gt;40% | Integrated ion exchange water softening system with automatic regeneration |
| Steam trap failure causing condensate accumulation | 8 | Water hammer pressure spikes reaching 25 bar | Dual redundant steam traps with differential pressure monitoring |
