On the comparison of energy consumption for steam and hot water heating
Thread Content
Dear sea friends: Hello everyone. There is a device that is heated using steam or superheated water. Method 1: Direct steam heating at 120°C, with a consumption of 100 kg/h (regulating valve + drain system). Method 2: Heating with steam water to 120°C, followed by superheated water for cyclic heating (regulating valve + pump + heat exchanger + drain system). Which method is more energy-efficient? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Thank you!
When it comes to energy savings, the first option is definitely more energy-efficient. The first one is less uniform than the second. Choose the first option if the material is not sensitive to heat.
