Pump up your energy savings

TL;DRAbstract

Rising fuel costs and the necessity of operating more efficiently are forcing engineers to find innovative ways to conserve energy. A device called an ejector thermocompressor can help. This component recycles waste steam into steam for heating. The simple device, which can be used in many CPI applications, uses high-pressure steam to compress low-pressure, waste steam to a usable level of pressure. When attached to steam headers, for example, an ejector compresses waste steam that can then heat an evaporator, still, dryer roll or heater. Potential applications occur in any situation where a flow of vapor or gas is supplied at a pressure higher than the acceptable minimum. An ejector thermocompressor can accomplish a useful pumping effect at such a location. The new sizing and cost-estimating methods in this article make it easy for engineers to select appropriate ejector thermocompressors for their own applications. For companies, these methods translate directly to saved energy and m
