STEAM
COMPRESSOR
MODEL SC
STEAM COMPRESSOR THAT RECOVERS LOW PRESSURE STEAM AT HIGHER PRESSURE FOR REUSE
Features
Maximizes steam utilization by recovering excess
low pressure steam at a higher pressure resulting
in reduced energy costs and CO2 emissions.
1. Reuses energy from excess steam by increasing it
to low/medium pressure.
2. No electricity required, so suitable for explosion-
proof areas (with COS pressure control valve).
3. Condensate recovery tank unnecessary with
optional condensate recovery package:
condensate is first reduced to atmospheric
pressure, then repressurized to mid-pressure
steam for reuse.
4. Employs a new, independently-designed high
efficiency ejector.
5. Pressure control valve has a built-in separator and
steam trap, maintaining dry motive steam, thereby
ensuring high long-term efficiency and stable
discharge pressure.

Using Model Selection Graph for 0.9 MPaG motive steam pressure, point A represents the sample suction steam pressure
and capacity conditions for the desired discharge steam pressure (P3) of 0.3 MPaG.

In the 0.3 MPaG discharge steam pressure range, point A falls slightly below the SC2 line, therefore Model SC2 or SC7 should
be chosen.

For suction steam capacities greater than that of SC31, contact TLV.
