Steam Injection Heaters use a special system of perforated injection tubes to force steam into a liquid or slurry to provide almost instantaneous transfer of heat to the liquid. Typical applications include clean-in-place ‘CIP’ Systems, tank cleaning, wastewater treatment, hose stations and similar processes where it is critical to maintain a particular temperature range. Direct Steam Injection is the most efficient way of heating water as 100% of the BTUs from the steam are transferred into the water being heated and is not lost as condensate.
Constant-Flow
Two basic designs are available, the first being the constant-flow design satisfies most applications with a specific ‘constant’ flow rate, one that varies over a narrow span (i.e. 3:1 turndown), or where variations in flow are gradual and on/off cycling does not occur.
Variable-Flow
Applications with varied flow over a wide range are best satisfied with the Variable-Flow design. It will accommodate wide variations in demand and frequent start/stop requirements such as multiple-use points.
Custom Fabrication & Sanitary Designs
Steam spargers for tank heating, sanitary designs for food and pharmaceutical applications as well as Multi-zone heat/cool skids are frequently supplied with these devices as a system.
