Steam Jet Thermocompressor

Description

Thermocompressor High efficiency energy saving solution
Spirax Sarco’s Steam Jet Thermocompressors are energy saving devices that compress low pressure steam, often waste steam, to a higher useable pressure that can be recycled back into the process.

Reduce waste to increase profits

Process industries are constantly looking for opportunities to reduce energy costs by optimising their energy consumption.
For many of our customers this means reducing waste steam to improve steam generation efficiency and increase profitability.
This is where our Steam Jet Thermocompressor can help.

How it works

Our Steam Jet Thermocompressor uses high pressure steam to entrain low pressure steam and discharges at a pressure that lies somewhere between the two pressures.
High pressure motive steam enters and passes through the nozzle and enters the suction chamber where it is brought in contact with the low pressure steam. This steam mixture then enters the diffuser where its kinetic energy is converted to pressure energy.
The steam discharged is then put back into the process.
