STEAM HEAT EXCHANGER

A steam heat exchanger is an equipment used to transfer energy between steam and a fluid, gas or liquid, through a heat exchange surface which is selected to optimize the capacity according to the project singularities such as working conditions and available dimensions. The main objective is to increase the fluid temperature, usually a process fluid such as water or thermal oil, or to condense the steam.

This type of heat exchanger is able to resist high pressures and temperatures up to 950ºC. We can find them in a wide variety of fields such as:

– Power generation: condensate steam that has been used to generate energy.
– Food industry: pasteurization and sterilization of food and beverages, as well as for the manufacture of juices, beer, milk and other products.
– Petrochemical industry: steam heat exchangers are used in oil refining, heat recovery in cracking processes and natural gas production.
– Pharmaceutical industry: they are used in the production of medicines, in the purification of water and in the sterilization of equipment.
– Chemical industry: cooling and heating reagents and chemical products, as well as for heat recovery in distillation processes.

Our steam heat exchangers offer great energy efficiency and save energy and costs. They are available in multiple materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel AISI304, AISI316, refractory steel or titanium.

Beyond this economizer, we also have other custom-made solutions such as finned tube heat exchangers, designed to recover energy with live steam systems and flash steam energy recovery systems.
