Steam engine working principle
- Suitable for producing steam of max. 120 °C
- Ideal waste heat is 70 °C
- Electricity
- If the factory has waste heat, then the steam generator works great on its own.
- If the factory does not have waste heat, the system must consist of two parts. One is the tap water preheating unit, which heats the tap water from 20-60 °C to 60 °C, the other is the steam generator, which uses the preheated 60 °C water as a heat source.
