Large industrial plants often vent significant quantities of low-pressure steam to the atmosphere, wasting energy, water, and water-treatment chemicals. Recovery of the latent heat content of low-pressure steam reduces the boiler load, resulting in energy and fuel cost savings. Low-pressure steam's potential uses include driving evaporation and distillation processes, producing hot water, space heating, producing a vacuum, or chilling water. If the steam pressure is too low for the intended application, a steam jet thermocompressor can boost the pressure and temperature to the required level.
Operating Principles - Thermocompressors and ejectors operate on the same thermodynamic and physical principle: energy contained in high-pressure steam can be transferred to a lower pressure vapor or gas to produce a mixed discharge stream of intermediate pressure.
