Thermoject®
Venturi-based direct steam injector for efficient steam-to-water mixing and rapid, controllable heating.
Product overview
A direct steam injector that mixes steam into water inside a venturi, condensing it completely within the mixing section. Heating is close to instantaneous and there is no heat-transfer surface to foul, scale or clean.
The problem it solves
Open-tank heating by an open steam sparge is noisy, uneven and wasteful. Steam bubbles collapse violently, the tank stratifies, and steam that fails to condense leaves through the vent as a visible plume.
Working principle
Water is accelerated through a venturi, and steam is introduced into the low-pressure throat where it condenses into the moving water stream. Complete condensation inside the injector body means the energy goes into the water rather than into noise and vibration, and the outlet temperature tracks the steam admission.
