In industries where low- and medium-temperature waste heat in the form of various types of low-pressure steam, spent steam, and steam condensate is present, such as chemicals, petroleum, steel, power generation, pharmaceuticals, textiles, papermaking, and metallurgy, high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor centrifugal compressors can be used to increase the pressure and temperature of such steam and flash steam. This raises their thermal energy value, allowing them to be reused and thereby achieving significant energy savings and carbon reduction. For example: 1. It is suitable for situations where the steam source pressure in a factory is insufficient, or where low-pressure by-product steam cannot be utilized; by using a steam compressor to increase the pressure and quality of the low-pressure steam, it can be reused in the steam distribution network or at other points where it is needed ； 2. Various types of condensate water generated during production can be utilized; the heat contained in this water can be recovered. Through flashing, low-pressure saturated steam at different pressures is produced, which is then compressed using steam compressors to increase its pressure and quality before being reused in the steam network or at other points where it is needed.
