Abstract from DBPedia
    A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated. The fluid does not necessarily boil. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including water heating, central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.

    ボイラー（英: boiler）は、水を沸かし、湯や水蒸気をつくりだす設備や装置のことである。日本工業規格（JIS）や学術用語集ではボイラと表記されるほか、汽缶（きかん、汽罐）、あるいは単に缶やカマともいう。
