The centrifugal steam compressor with an outlet pressure of 1.5 MPa has been successfully commissioned.

In industrial production, when the required steam pressure is insufficient, a centrifugal steam compressor can be used to boost the steam pressure, thereby avoiding the many complications associated with rerouting high-pressure pipelines. This not only helps users reduce capital‑expenditure costs but also allows for flexible adjustment of the compressor’s flow rate and discharge pressure, minimizing fluctuations in the piping network and facilitating adjustments to the user’s production load.

  In industrial production, when the required steam pressure is insufficient, a centrifugal steam compressor can be used to boost the steam pressure, thereby avoiding the many complications associated with rerouting high-pressure pipelines. This not only helps users reduce capital‑expenditure costs but also allows for flexible adjustment of the compressor’s flow rate and discharge pressure, minimizing fluctuations in the piping network and facilitating adjustments to the user’s production load.

  Recently, a centrifugal steam compressor manufactured by Turbovap has been successfully deployed at a chemical enterprise in Hangzhou, boosting steam pressure from 1.0 MPa to 1.5 MPa with an outlet temperature of 250°C, while consuming only 28 kWh of electricity per ton of steam compressed. This is the highest‑pressure and highest‑temperature centrifugal steam compressor currently known on the domestic market, filling a significant gap in comparable performance records.

  This compressor incorporates a groundbreaking three‑dimensional flow design, operating at 50,000 rpm with an inlet volumetric flow rate as low as 1,500 m³/h, thereby surpassing the conventional speed and flow‑rate limits of centrifugal compressors. Equipped with the CCS central control system, it achieves millisecond‑level response times to precisely regulate steam pressure in the pipeline network, meeting users’ needs for flexible adjustments.

  The company’s executive stated: “We have been seeking solutions that can enhance production efficiency and energy utilization. With the introduction of Turbovap’s centrifugal steam compressor, there was no need to rebuild the high-pressure steam network, and the compressor’s flexible start‑stop capability has significantly reduced our steam‑related costs.”

  As a specialized manufacturer of centrifugal steam compressors and a provider of integrated engineering services, Turbovap has consistently been committed to delivering comprehensive steam‑energy‑saving solutions that create value for its customers.
