While standard steam boilers are conventionally designed for higher pressures (7 or 10 bar), many process heating applications demand low steam pressure, typically in the range of 1 to 3 bar. To align with economic and technical considerations, Ross Thermals presents an efficient solution: pressure reducing stations. These stations are pivotal for achieving the desired low steam pressure, optimizing the steam supply for utility.

Key Components

1. Pressure Reducing Valve

The heart of the station, the pressure reducing valve, ensures precise control over steam pressure, facilitating the transition from high to low pressure.

2. Isolation and Bypass Valves

Strategically placed isolation valves offer control and flexibility, while bypass valves allow for the diversion of steam when needed.

3. Filters

Inclusion of filters ensures the purity of the steam, preventing contaminants from affecting downstream processes.

4. Steam Traps

Integrated steam traps contribute to the efficient removal of condensate, maintaining steam quality and preventing energy loss.

Features

• Custom Sizing: Available in various sizes to cater to diverse steam utilization requirements.
• Compliance: Offered in both non-IBR and IBR approved versions, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.

Working Principle

1. Pressure Reduction: The pressure reducing valve efficiently reduces the incoming high-pressure steam to the desired low-pressure level.
2. Isolation and Bypass: Isolation valves enable control over the steam flow, while bypass valves provide an alternative path for steam diversion.
3. Filtration: Filters intercept impurities, ensuring that the steam remains clean and suitable for downstream processes.
4. Condensate Management: Steam traps play a crucial role in removing condensate, optimizing the steam quality and preventing energy wastage.

Applications

Pressure reducing stations are indispensable for processes requiring low steam pressure, ensuring efficient and tailored steam supply.
