How to increase pressure with steam
Thread Content
Production requires an increase in steam pressure; it was previously around 10 kilograms, but now it needs to be raised to over 12 kilograms. What methods can be used to achieve this while keeping costs as low as possible? I’ve contacted some manufacturers, and all of them require a source of high-pressure steam to use for raising the pressure of our steam. Is there any other way?
Heating is possible, through a heater. If it does not liquefy under pressure, the pressure method can also be used.
Reply to 2# *nyang3390: What is used for applying pressure? , use a compressor?
If it is saturated steam, both pressure and temperature need to be increased, and the only source of this energy is a boiler； Simply increasing the pressure will not result in saturated steam~~~~
Existing steam compressors can do this, and they are used in many fields.
Given your situation, the compression ratio isn’t very high either, so a centrifugal compressor will suffice
Generally, in cases of temperature and pressure reduction, energy must be supplied to increase the pressure; this cannot violate the law of conservation of energy
The boiler that supplies steam can have its operating pressure increased, but it must not exceed the maximum design pressure of that boiler.
