Steam heaters have risen in popularity in the last ten years or so. The steam heater has existed since a long time, but is more useful today, even after various other equipment have come to exist for both commercial and industrial uses.

Steam heaters are been found to be more efficient than heat exchangers.

Features of Komax Steam Heaters

Since 1973, Komax Systems Inc has been producing and supplying high quality steam heaters several industries around the world. Steam heating is one of the oldest heating technologies in industrial use, but it is still popular because it offers several advantages over heat exchangers.

Steam heaters use steam generated from a boiler for heating purposes. This steam is carried through pipes to heating units like convectors, radiators, or fan heaters, while the condensed water returns to the boiler.

Defining features of Komax steam heaters are:

• Up to 100 percent efficiency
• More efficient than traditional heat exchangers
• Low capital cost
• Reduced noise, water hammer, vibration, and scaling

Benefits of Steam Heaters

Steam heaters have a number of benefits in the industrial setting. First and foremost, steam heaters are safer a heating loop.

There are no risks of leakages in the steam heater. This also makes them more reliable and provides them with a better longevity than boilers or heat exchangers. The better the quality of the steam heater, the longer it will last without complaints.

Steam heaters are easier to maintain because there is no fan and not many moving parts. Steam heaters are also quieter than water heaters, reducing disturbance when the machine functioning. Steam being lighter than fluid, transportation time is shorter, and the pressure is also low.

Steam heaters require no pumping, unlike fluids. Steam naturally rises, and when it condenses it creates a low pressure filled by more steam.

Simplicity

That’s not all. Steam heaters being smaller than water heaters, the cost of installation and maintenance is far less than that of water heaters. Even smaller manufacturing on a tight budget can also install a steam heater.
