A direct steam injection heater provides a cost-effective method to heat water and other fluids by injecting steam directly into the fluid. The direct injection heater is designed to handle a wide range of flow rates and supply hot fluids at precise temperatures.

How does a DSI work?

Direct steam injection transforms heat energy via direct contact steam condensation

• Near-instantaneous energy (heat) transfer

• Effectively 100% efficient – latent and sensible energy

• Significant measurable benefits beyond energy savings

​

Environmental impact

• Less boiler demand

• Lower water usage – minimal wasted water prior to achieving the set-point temperature

• Lower carbon footprint - minimum energy utilization to achieve a precise temperature

• Smaller physical footprint

• Less wastewater

• Less cleaning and chemical usage

Sustainable benefits

​​

• Near-instantaneous energy (heat) transfer

• Effectively 100% efficient

• Energy savings / reduced steam Consumption

• Consistent and precise discharge temperature

• Small footprint

• Reduced maintenance costs

• No condensate return required

• Handles fluids that are difficult to heat—avoids “burn-on”; highly viscous or abrasive slurries
