That is a coal pulverizer that grinds coal to a powder then fans blow the powder to the burners in the boiler

Thats Not a boiler, its a condenser. It converts the exhaust steam in the turbine back to water to be boiled again. Those manholes are for workers to go in when sticks and debris plug the cooling water tubes inside.

Those tubes are too small to be those of a boiler. They are condenser tubes. What you are seeing here is the waterbox where the cooling water enters or leaves. The steam to be cooled would be on the other side of those tubes and tube sheets.

I could be wrong, but as far as I know, those pipes would move water through the boiler, and by thew time water had passed all the way threw, it would be heated to steam. I think.

Notes are written on the machine by maintenance employees. The RS means right side for reassembly when machine is apart. Looks like a shaft mounted exciter by which the main generator gets its DC. The steam turbine that drives the main generator spins this also eliminating the need for two mg sets.
