Gas-to-Steam Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger
Turn flue gas into high-pressure steam
When you need to convert waste heat directly into steam, the Gas-to-Steam Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger from Econotherm offers a robust solution. Instead of discarding exhaust heat, this unit recovers it to generate usable steam for process, power generation or cogeneration purposes.
Key benefits and features
Steam generation from exhaust heat
Convert sensible heat into latent heat to produce steam at target pressure.
Efficient heat pipe bridging
The use of heat pipes ensures stable thermal gradients and uniform evaporation.
High reliability under cycling
Designed for thermal cycling and load fluctuations without severe fatigue.
Easy access for maintenance
Modular structure for inspection, cleaning or replacement without full teardown.
Multiple pressure levels possible
Can design for low-, medium- or high-pressure steam depending on need.
Applications
-
Supplementary steam supply in industrial plants
-
Cogeneration / combined heat & power (CHP) systems
-
Steam-driven processes (e.g., sterilization, power turbines)
-
Retrofit of exhaust systems aiming to extract maximum value
Performance considerations
-
Exhaust gas mass flow, temperature, dew point, particulates
-
Feedwater conditions, required steam pressure, steam quality
-
Integration to steam header, safety and control systems
