Vacuum breakers provide a simple, dependable way to relieve unwanted vacuum that may develop in a closed vessel or pipeline. They can be used to prevent contamination from back flowing in fluid handling systems and to protect equipment against collapse or implosion. Vacuum breakers range in size from 3/8" to 1 1/2". They are available in stainless steel and brass and rated up to 300 psig and 365 °F.
Air and steam separators use expansion, change in direction, and filtration to effectively remove up to 99 % of condensate and precipitate in compressed air and steam systems. They range in size from 3/8" to 4". The housing is made from ductile iron and is available with threaded or flanged connections with pressure ratings up to 300 psig.
Steam jet thermocompressors are designed to boost low pressure steam by accurately mixing low pressure steam with high pressure steam. With just three basic components; nozzle, mixing section, and diffuser, the thermocompressor is simple yet highly energy efficient. Thermocompressors are used in the chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, food, power, steel, and other process industries in applications such as drying, filtration, distillation, absorption, mixing, vacuum packaging, freeze drying, flash cooling, deaerating, and dehydrating.
Desuperheaters are designed to reduce the temperature of superheated steam for optimal heat transfer and efficiency as well as reduced degradation of system components. Desuperheaters are custom designed for each application and are available in various materials. The efficient geometry allows for direct installation into the steam pipeline with flanged connections. Typical applications include pulp and paper, food processing, HVAC, and shipboard service, among others.
A direct steam injection water heater heats fluids by injecting steam directly into the fluid. The direct injection heater is most appropiate where various volumes of hot liquids at precise temperatures are required. Direct injection heaters can be used in operations such as starch cooking, liquor heating, filling pulpers, calender roll heating, wastewater treatment, and industrial laundry, among others.
