DIRECT STEAM INJECTION HEATING
Liquids can be heated by direct contact with steam either in pipelines (inline) or inside vessels (intank). Heating is extremely efficient and virtually silent.
Applied Vacuum supplies equipment and solutions for both pipeline and tank heating of liquids by steam injection.
INLINE HEATING SYSTEMS
chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and water treatment applications, our inline steam heaters eliminate the need for heat exchangers, reduce energy loss, and minimize system complexity.
Key Benefits:
- Immediate heat transfer with up to 100% thermal efficiency
- Compact, inline design saves space and simplifies installation
- Precise temperature control for continuous process heating
- No external heat exchanger required
- Available in corrosion-resistant materials for aggressive fluids
Typical Applications:
- White water heaters for the pulp and paper industry
- Acid stream heating in metallurgical plants
- Maize and starch cookers
- Preheating process water or CIP fluids
- Inline dilution of chemicals or syrups
- Thermal sanitation and sterilization
- Boiler feedwater heating
- Tankless hot water supply
With no moving parts and minimal maintenance, Applied Vacuum’s inline direct steam heaters offer unmatched reliability and operational efficiency.
INTANK STEAM HEATING SYSTEMS
Reliable In-Tank Heating with Direct Steam Injection
Applied Vacuum’s Direct Steam Injection (DSI) In-Tank Heaters offer a robust and energy-efficient solution for heating liquids directly within process or storage tanks. Our steam spargers and in-tank DSI systems inject live steam into the tank contents, ensuring rapid, uniform heating with no need for external heat exchangers or complex mechanical systems.
Ideal for chemical mixing, sludge heating, wastewater treatment, food production, and mineral processing, our systems are designed to reduce heat-up times and improve energy utilization.
Key Benefits:
- Uniform heating and mixing with no hot spots
- Simple and durable design – no moving parts
- Custom nozzle and sparger configurations
- Low capital and maintenance costs
- Compatible with corrosive, viscous, or particulate-laden fluids
Common Applications:
- Water heating
- Reactor pre-heating
- Process liquids heating
- Slurry and sludge heating
- Tank cleaning and CIP support
- Jacketless tank heating
- Mash and wort heating in brewing
Applied Vacuum engineers each in-tank DSI system to meet your process demands, ensuring optimal temperature control, safety, and performance.
