Direct steam injection hot water system
Open-tank and CIP heating using a Thermoject® injector, chosen where a heat-transfer surface would foul and where heating has to be rapid.
The application
Water heating in an open tank or a CIP circuit, previously done by open steam sparge — noisy, uneven, and losing steam through the vent.
What was engineered
A Thermoject® venturi injector arranged so steam condenses completely inside the mixing section, with temperature control on the steam admission and the circuit sized to give even tank temperature.
Result on the plant
Heating brought under control with no exchanger surface to scale or clean, and the vent plume removed. Temperature response and steam consumption figures for the installed arrangement are available on request.
