Be sure you pick the best direct steam injection heater
This tomato sauce producer was using our competitors 3 way steam valve jet cooker with poor results. The unit had difficulty maintaining target temperatures and vibrated severely causing concerns over the pipings integrity.
A Solaris® Hydroheater®, designed for highly viscous fluids was installed. The straight-through flow design of the process steam heater minimizes flow disturbance and enables instantaneous condensation of steam without vibration or noise. Target temperatures are reached quickly and held constant. The mill reports that the Solaris handles the entire flow range with smooth operation. The safety concerns experienced with the other steam valve are non-existent with the Hydroheater.
Operating Conditions:
| Flow rates |
25-75 gpm [9.4 kl/m] |
| Inlet temperature |
Ambient low of 45°F [7.2°C] |
| Outlet temperature | 195°F [90.5°C] |
| Steam pressure | 120 130 psig [8.2 8.9 bar] |

Unlike heat exchangers or spargers, the Hydroheater is designed only for your process conditions and unique application. We need to know a few things about your conditions, such as temperature range, steam pressure, and flow rates to size a heater specifically for you. When you click on our application data sheet and fill in the information, we will contact you within one business day. After an initial conversation with a sales representative or one of our engineers, we will then provide you with a custom quote for the Hydroheater best suited for your process.
Yes, I want to save energy and have more control using direct steam injection. Please complete the Application Data Sheet which helps us understand your process conditions such as fluid density, flow rates and temperature parameters.
