How Does Condensate Behavior Relate to Heat Transfer in Corrugator Rolls?

Condensed steam (condensate) that forms inside a heated corrugator roll may be lying on the bottom of the roll (puddling), tumbling around inside the roll (cascading), or spinning with the shell (rimming).

Direct Steam Injection Heating

Conventional storage tanks with sparge pipes (simple pipes with drilled steam distribution holes) tend to have uneven water temperature control, steam hammer, heavy vibration caused by collapsing steam bubbles, and low low energy efficiency as steam bubbles escape to atmosphere due to incomplete condensation.

What are Rotary Joints & Rotary Unions?

A rotary joint, also referred to as a rotary union or rotating union, is a rotary sealing device that connects rotating equipment to fixed piping for the transfer of steam, water, thermal oil, coolant, hydraulic oil, air, and other media.
