VAP-HP

From 232 to 2,325 kW – Up to 100 barg working pressure
VAP-HP is a natural circulation high pressure steam generator designed for operation in a closed loop steam and condensate system. This type of closed loop configuration provides very high overall efficiency and the minimum of system losses throughout the operating range. The lack of blowdown, no requirement for softened make-up water and no need for ongoing chemical dosing make this the most cost effective and environmentally friendly design of steam generating equipment.

In its simplest application, the VAP-HP unit is operated in conjunction with a single user; steam produced by the boiler condenses at the user heat exchange surface producing condensate which returns under gravity to the boiler for reheating. VAP-HP requires minimal utilities consumption or use of space.

VAP-HP steam generator has been designed to operate in a diverse range of industries and to be able to serve all batch, continuous, or semi-continuous processes.
