Thermoelectric Boiler - Official Mekanism Wiki
The Thermoelectric Boiler is a multi-block structure used to generate steam from external heat. Its minimum dimensions are 3x3x4 (3 long, 3 wide, 4 tall) and its maximum dimensions are 18x18x18, as with Mekanism's other multi-block structures.

r/feedthebeast on Reddit: Efficient Mekanism Boiler/Turbine?
November 28, 2018 -
I've been watching videos on how to set these up and I have the basic grasp of it, however it seems like I'm not making much power for the effort it takes. What is the best way to generate a lot of steam with a Thermoelectric Boiler? It doesn't seem to produce enough to make the turbines spin much. Is there a most efficient design for both machines?

Using the boiler directly for powering a turbine is pretty much ill advised, you'll be using tons of fuelwood heaters to get any heat up for boiling rate. Best use of the boiler really is as a steam accumulator that you can dump into a turbine if needed. Minimal water volume, maximum steam volume.

r/allthemods on Reddit: Mekanism boiler
September 23, 2023 -
Alr so I have setup a max sized sodium cooled fission reactor with a max sized boiler and 3 max sized turbines, sodium into reactor->superheated sodium into boiler->steam into turbines, the classics. It's all good until the boiler is not boiling and capped at a 460fuel burn rate, if i go above that, the sodium is not cooled fast enough and temperature increases(bad). Is it bugged or am i doing smt wrong? The mekanism wiki says you need 671 super heating elements and pressure dispersers on the 16th height block, which i've done.

So I have the same build as you, and I can reach 830 fuel burn, but 830 fuel burn doesn't even max out my single max turbine which has a limit of 18,7 mill, can't max out my turbine as something is limiting my boiler, it starts getting full of superheated sodium and my fission get low on normal sodium, not sure why it's not converting super heated into normal sodium faster

I assume the wiki is correct for a single boiler (in other words, adding more components won't make it any more efficient) but unfortunately you probably need multiple to handle such a large fission reactor. Alternatively you can double-check if something else is bottlenecking you, say the method you're using to transfer fluids and gasses.

How to produce a lot of steam? | Feed The Beast
April 20, 2018 - I've only done the standard Mekanism fusion reactor and not the liquid cooled one unfortunately, so I can't be of much help there - all I'd suggest is that you have a power storage off to one side that holds enough to restart the reactor, and a spare hohlraum full of D-T fuel - that way if something happens and your reactor stops working for some reason, you've got the power and fuel to restart it again.
