Steam results from water that evaporates when it is heated to its boiling point. Because steam is a gas, it expands to fill any available space. In order to create high-pressure steam, it is necessary to contain it as you generate it. Many industrial applications use high-pressure steam. But to create low-pressure steam, it is only necessary to generate steam without containing it - allowing it to expand indefinitely.
