flash boiler

名詞

A variety of water-tube boiler, used chiefly in steam automobiles, consisting of a nest of strong tubes with very little water space, kept nearly red hot so that the water as it trickles drop by drop into the tubes is immediately flashed into steam and superheated.

日本語の意味

水管型ボイラーの一種で、主に蒸気自動車に用いられる。多くの強化された管が巣状に配置され、内部に水がほとんど保持されず、管はほぼ赤熱状態に保たれる。そのため、水が点滴状に管内に供給されると、即座に蒸気に変わり、過熱された蒸気が生成される。

Before the hill climb, the driver checked the flash boiler to make sure the nest of strong tubes was nearly red hot so each drop of water would be instantly flashed into superheated steam.

登坂前に、運転手は水管式の瞬間蒸発ボイラーを点検し、強固な管の束がほぼ赤熱していて、水滴が滴ると即座に過熱蒸気に変わることを確かめた。
