Our tin plating line has several of these. Original design was superheated steam to 300 degrees Celcius, but the plant reduced steam pressure and now our steam inlet temperature is much lower (less than 150 degrees Celcius). Inlet air is what we want to heat up for the drying. It comes in between 15 degrees Celcius in winter to up to 40 degrees Celcius in the summer.
Since I am limited to steam inlet temperature being lower, is there a simple way to locally heat the steam again to make my outlet air temperature higher? Would an tankless boiler be effective? I have a tank of condensate at about 100 degrees Celcius in the basement below the line, but I am no better off unless I can heat this up to superheated steam again, but at least I have a source to start from. Any feedback would be great!
Thanks;
Rob
