Advantages of mixing steam directly with fluids

Our direct steam injection heaters delivers the most advantages over heat exchangers and sparging systems, and even over our competitors 3 way valves. The patented Hydroheater^® technology is the only proven internally modulated valve mixing device that precisely heats process or utility fluids and saves energy.

Precise Temperature Control

Heat exchangers can cause product burn on because of hot-spots in the process. A baby food company struggled with burn on in their plate and frame heat exchanger while processing baby formula. Hot spots and uneven heating scorched product, reducing product quality. They replaced the heat exchanger with a sanitary 3A certified direct steam heater by Hydro-Thermal and solved this problem.

Save energy

An international steel mill replaced their hot water heater and sparge tank with three Hydroheaters and immediately saw a savings of $56,000 (USD) per month in energy costs alone. Spargers are an unsophisticated form of direct contact steam heating providing little control of steam dispersion into the tanks. This lack of control results in uneven heating, gas bubbles, and even destructive hammering. Most important, much of the heat is lost to the atmosphere, wasting energy and money. 

The Jetcooker delivers more advantages over heat exchangers

Heat exchangers don't provide low maintenance, instant temperature rise, space savings and quiet operation. Do these advantages sound too good to be true? Our knowledgeable staff can explain all the benefits of direct steam injection.

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. 

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.
