There is a class of pressure vessel, usually a shell & tube heat exchanger, referred to as a reboiler that vaporizes a fluid, maybe water, maybe not, without the use of flame ("unfired") thru exchange of heat from another fluid.

There are all sorts of devices designed to generate vapour from liquids, including water, for process uses, that are not classed as ASME I boilers.

. What?? ASME Boiler Code evolved well before the pressure vessel code, which is why Section I is referred to as the "Mother" code. I say this with honor being a member of BPV I, and have a shirt which states the above.

But I'm sure you will agree, at least the steam side is a vessel which is pressurized, no?
