Condensation
Application
In the production of purified water, the process begins with tap water being fed into the steam separator. The tap water evaporates there and is fed into the condenser. Evaporation is effected by a heat exchanger supplied with saturated steam. To ensure that the heat exchanger is always covered with tap water, reliable level detection is required. The pressure inside the steam separator must be kept constant in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
Your benefit
Reliable
