Flooded
Steam-to-Water Vertical Heat Exchanger
- A flooded steam-to-water heat exchanger … uses a new,
efficient technology to optimize the net output energy
produced from steam, which is a different approach than
conventional shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
- By modulating the condensate, the flooded vertical
heat exchanger varies the exchange surface.
- The energy
input of the flooded vertical heat exchanger is 85% of
the conventional heat exchanger for the same net energy
produced.
- The exchanger has a stable temperature set-point
by modulating the condensate, not the steam. |
