Como funciona la caldera Acuotubular?
¿Cómo funciona la caldera Acuotubular?
Calderas de tubos de agua o acuotubulares: El agua circula por el interior de las tuberías que forman el intercambiador y que están tendidas en la zona del hogar. El calor generado y los gases de combustión rodean los tubos calentando el agua que circula por los mismos.
¿Cuál es el componente principal que se incrusta en las calderas?

| Supercalentador | Acero inoxidable ferritico |
Do Calderas erupt?
A caldera-causing eruption is the most devastating type of volcanic eruption. It permanently alters the environment of the surrounding area. A caldera is not the same thing as a crater. Craters are formed by the outward explosion of rocks and other materials from a volcano.
How do Caldera volcanoes erupt?
A caldera is a large depression formed when a volcano erupts and collapses. During a volcanic eruption, magma present in the magma chamber underneath the volcano is expelled, often forcefully. When the magma chamber empties, the support that the magma had provided inside the chamber disappears.
What would happen if the Long Valley caldera erupted?
If all of the 240 cubic miles of magma found beneath the Long Valley supervolcano were ever to erupt, it would eject over 800 times the volume of material as the 1980 Mount St. Helen’s eruption. This is the reason geologists with the USGS continuously monitor the supervolcanoes that lie dormant beneath America.
Is the caldera volcano still active?
The Valles Caldera is a supervolcano eruption, like Yellowstone, and one of the largest young calderas on Earth. It formed about 1 million years ago when multiple explosive eruptions occurred that produced an immense outpouring of ash, pumice, and pyroclastic flows. It is considered by geologists to be still active.
Can a caldera erupt?
Depending on their intensity and duration, volcanic eruptions can create calderas as much as 100 kilometers (62 miles) wide. A caldera-causing eruption is the most devastating type of volcanic eruption.
