Advantages of an Electric Steam Generator

May 20, 2026

Electric steam generators stand out because they do not require combustion or a flue on site, operate cleanly, and are easy to control. We explain when they offer advantages.

Advantages of an Electric Steam Generator

No combustion or flue on site

An electric steam generator obtains its heat from heating elements; it does not burn fuel at the installation site and does not require a flue. This is particularly useful in locations where installing a flue is difficult or costly, and in environments where combustion products are not desired.

Clean and easy-to-control operation

In electric systems, heat is supplied through heating elements, making control relatively straightforward. The installation site remains clean, while additional processes such as fuel storage and combustion adjustment are eliminated.

Sizing according to capacity

In an electric steam generator, the heating element is selected with sufficient power to meet your business’s steam requirements. Stilsan sizes and manufactures the system according to your capacity, tests it at the facility, and delivers it with a 1-year warranty. Whether an electric system or another type of heating is suitable for you is evaluated according to your facility’s energy infrastructure.
