Two horizontal cross pipes (02) positioned within concentric shells optimize heat transfer and water circulation during combustion, enhancing steam generation efficiency. A chimney (01) ensures efficient exhaust gas release, while safety mechanisms including pressure gauge and relief valve (03) maintain safe operation. The boiler's design facilitates precise steam control and measurement with steam outflow valve and flow meter. Specifically engineered for small to medium-scale producers, the boiler promotes sustainability by utilizing wood-fired biomass fuel and enabling eco-friendly extraction practices. This innovative solution empowers producers with cost-effective steam generation, fostering entrepreneurship and economic growth in the essential oil industry."
