*[[Boiler (steam generator)]], a closed vessel in which water is heated under pressure
*[[Heat recovery steam generator]]
*[[Monotube steam generator]]
*[[Supercritical steam generator]] or Benson boiler, a high-pressure steam generator that operates in the supercritical pressure regime, such that no boiling takes place within it.
*[[Steam generator (auxiliary boiler)]], a steam-powered boiler used on ships to produce a low-pressure steam, heated by a high-pressure steam supply rather than a flame.
*[[Steam generator (boiler)]], an oil- or gas-fired boiler, based on a low-water content monotube coil.
*[[Steam generator (nuclear power)]], a heat exchanger in a pressurized water nuclear reactor.
*[[Steam generator (railroad)]], a device used in trains to provide heat to passenger cars.
