Thermocompressor
High-efficiency energy savings solution

Are you wasting potential energy by venting flash steam? If so, Spirax Sarco’s Steam Jet Thermocompressor is an energy
saving device that compresses low-pressure steam, often waste steam, to a higher acceptable pressure that can be
recycled back into the process.

Reduce Waste to Increase Profits


Processing industries are constantly looking for opportunities to reduce energy costs by optimizing their energy
consumption. Spirax Sarco is focused on helping these customers reduce waste steam to improve their steam generation
efficiency and increase their profitability. This is where our Steam Jet Thermocompressor can benefit.

The Steam Jet Thermocompressor Offers:


• A simple, compact and lightweight construction which is easy to install into a pipeline and enables overhead
installations
• No moving or rotating parts and can be installed in remote or inaccessible locations
• Minimal maintenance is required
• Oil free discharge ensuring there is no lubrication contamination
• Suitable for hazardous areas
• Virtually silent operation

How it Works
Our Steam Jet Thermocompressor uses high pressure steam to entrain low pressure steam and discharges at a pres-
sure that lies somewhere between the two pressures.

High pressure motive steam enters and passes through the nozzle and enters the suction chamber where it is brought
in contact with the low pressure steam. This steam mixture then enters the diffuser where its kinetic energy is convert-
ed to pressure energy. The steam discharged is then put back into the process.
