New Field’s eductors are specialized devices designed to improve heat transfer in surface-type heat exchangers and control superheated steam temperatures. With applications across power generation, refineries, and process plants, eductors play a crucial role in maintaining process stability by balancing steam requirements and controlling excess heat. Our eductors are engineered for high performance, reliability, and adaptability to various industrial applications.
Eductors work by reducing steam temperature through direct contact between superheated steam and water. The cooling process occurs as the steam evaporates the water, lowering the overall temperature of the steam. The water enters the eductor, is preheated, and then atomized into small jets that mix with the steam, resulting in efficient heat transfer. This method provides maximum desuperheating effectiveness while minimizing wear on piping systems.
Our eductors are designed for steady load conditions where minimizing pressure loss is crucial. While eductors offer cost-effective solutions with negligible pressure losses, the turndown ratio—depending on installation and other factors. Normal flow variation typically ranges from 75% to 15%. They are ideal for applications requiring consistent performance, especially in power plants for heating systems, heat exchangers, and dump stations.
