Deaerators - Tray Type

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

  • Removes dissolved oxygen and non-condensable gases from boiler feedwater using direct steam contact.
  • Removes dissolved oxygen to as low as 0.005 cc/liter (≈7 ppb) per ABMA testing procedures..
  • Incoming water is distributed across multiple trays, forming thin flowing layers for efficient heating.
  • Steam rises through the tray stack, heating the water to near saturation temperature and releasing dissolved gases.
  • Counterflow contact between rising steam and cascading water provides thorough gas removal.
  • Released gases are separated and vented from the system.
  • Deaerated water collects in the storage section for boiler use.
  • Continuous steam blanket ensures stable performance across varying load conditions.

WHY CHOOSE A SPRAY TYPE DEAERATOR

  • Ideal for systems with varying load & operating ranges
  • Stable operation under changing demand and Provides maximum contact time for highly reliable oxygen removal
  • Well suited for systems with moderate to high condensate return rates
