Direct Steam Injection Water Heating

A direct heating system is very simple since it don t require any heat exchangers.

Direct steam injection water heating.

The pick system injects steam into the liquid through hundreds of precisely arranged orifices in the injection tube. Direct steam injection is seldom used to heat solutions in which a chemical reaction takes place as the dilution of the solution would reduce the reaction rate and lower the productivity. Our most popular heating applications include. Quiet efficient reliable pick direct steam injection heating systems can be used to heat any water miscible liquid or aqueous slurry instantaneously where 30 psi 2 1 bar or above steam pressure is available.

Low liquid pressure drop across heater reduces process upsets. This efficient process of heating is caused by our direct steam injection hydroheaters ability to control both steam flow and mixing turbulence by using a modulating stem plug and nozzle assembly in the heater. Flow rates from 1 15 000 gpm. For some applications a direct heating of the water by injecting steam may be convenient.

With instantaneous heating when you need it our products are ideal for anywhere maintaining a precise temperature is critical. A direct steam injection heater provides a cost effective method to heat water and other fluids by injecting steam directly into the fluid. Precise temperature control 1 deg f. Prosonix steam injection heaters are designed to improve performance over traditional heat exchangers steam spargers and steam eductors.

No matter what your industry or application hydro thermal s heating solutions will assure you saving energy costs reducing maintenance down time and more. Direct steam injection is the most widely used method for boiler feedtank heating throughout industry. This can lead to process upsets and limits production. Direct steam injection heating utilizing the hydroheater.

The required steam flow rate in an steam injection process can be calculated as. Direct steam injection heaters can be used wherever medium to high pressure steam is available and an unlimited supply of industrial hot water is needed or to heat liquids or slurries in line. Worldwide industries served include food chemical pharmaceutical pulp and paper and general industrial applications that benefit from efficiently produced unlimited hot water supply. The direct injection heater is designed to handle a wide range of flow rates and deliver hot fluids at precise temperatures.

No floor space required. Therefore the liquid being heated is usually water. Direct steam injection works by directly injecting steam into a process fluid to obtain more rapid heat transferring resulting in more efficient energy usage than indirect heat exchangers.
