Thermocompressor steam systems provide consistent steam pressure throughout the process. They are ideal in applications that need constant temperature or temperature flexibility in different process sections.
Steam from the boiler enters a process section. A portion of the steam condenses, releasing its latent heat. As the steam and condensate exit the process section, they are at a lower pressure. The condensate is separated from the blow-through steam and returned to the boiler. A thermocompressor then recovers the blow-through steam and mixes it with higher pressure motive steam to return it to the supply header.
