Steam:
Steam is vaporized water. It is just like a transparent gas. At standard temperature and pressure, pure steam (unmixed with air, but in equilibrium with water.liquid water) occupies about 1,600 times the volume of an equal mass of liquid . Steam is produced by boiling the water so that it changes into vapors. These vapors are produced in boilers. In boilers water is heated and steam is produced. Two types of boilers are used, one is fire tube boilers and other is water tube boilers. In fire tube boilers, fire is in tubes and water is in chamber. In water tube boilers, water is in tubes and fire is in chamber.
Where it is Utilized?
Steam is used in different industries for different purposes .It is used for heating, increasing temperature of different equipments and maintaining the temperature of different mechanisms.
low temperature, operate under vacuum, direct fired, indirect fired, etc. Dryers are normally located in a process line near the end of process where the finished product is a dry powder. Many times in chemical or pharmaceutical plants the dryer is after the centrifuges or filters which remove most of the water before the product goes into the dryer. Products dry much faster under vacuum than they do in atmospheric conditions and many times the products needs to be dried under a nitrogen blanket. These products need to be dried in a closed environment so you will see dryers rated for internal pressure and vacuum and will have a heating jacket. o In processing, steam is widely used in many process. It is used in cylinders for shearing of fabrics. Steam is used for heating the dyes. It is used in drying cylinders for drying the Fabric after washing. It is also used in cylinders; those are used for drying the dyes. After printing, Steam is also used for drying.
