Steam Air Heater

Steam is a fast and efficient way to heat media, especially air and liquids. Steam air heaters consist of a row of tubes in a casing or duct. The steam is passed through the tubes and any air or gas that moves over the tubes is heated.

Our steam air heaters can improve plant’s efficiency thanks to their rapid start-up. By optimising the use of steam, they can also be run at a lower cost than other options. we can build the heaters to meet a wide range of international standards and codes.

Description

Steam air heaters lend themselves to modular designs. their simplicity allows modules to be easily removed, inspected, maintained and replaced.

Configurations, duct sizes and even the materials used in our manufacture are customised to align with your process, plant layout, and steam pressures constraints.

Large industrial steam air heaters are usually made of two or more sections. These may include ‘steam’, ‘condensate’ and the optional ‘flash’ sections. As the steam heats the air, it cools down, condenses and turns to water. The heater configuration is in counterflow so that cold air entering is warmed by the condensate section, then brought up to temperature in the steam section.

The heater sections are bolted together directly instead of being installed in a cassette within a housing. We assemble them as complete units with interconnecting manifolds. This straightforward design allows engineers to remove the individual modules, inspect, maintain, and replace them as and when required. It also makes them relatively easy to lag.
