Steam Compression

Spilling steam compressors offer the most diverse industrial users targeted solutions to recycle excess steam to a useable pressure level and so save resources. Here the piston compressor with its flexible, modular design construction can be adjusted optimally to meet customer-specific requirements depending on the steam mass flow and compression ratio.

Industrial processes such as e.g. exothermal production processes where large amounts of low pressure steam occur that can not be used further are common. It is worthwhile contemplating recycling the steam using steam compression, because that means that an additional generation of live steam with the required pressure would become obsolete. Instead of discharging exhaust steam after a heat process, it is compressed to achieve utilisable pressure and made available for reuse.

Optimal fields of application for Spilling steam compressors can also be in companies, whose steam generation is dimensioned for the principal load and has a respective pressure. These applications include e.g. loads that require, continuously or only for a short interval, small amounts of high pressure steam that has a higher pressure level than the remaining steam supply.

In many of these cases it can be more advantageous to make high pressure steam available by compressing steam out of the existing steam system than to install an additional steam boiler or even design the entire steam network to satisfy the high steam pressure level.
