ASTM A179 Carbon Steel Tubing Product Features

Working Principle of LP Steam Generator

The LP Steam Generator AKT Type is designed to produce low-pressure steam for industrial processes. It utilizes SA179 carbon steel tubes to transfer heat from a primary heating medium (e.g., hot water or steam) to the working fluid, converting it to steam. The heat exchanger tubes ensure efficient thermal conductivity, while the robust pressure vessel shell maintains the system's integrity under operating conditions.

Key Steps in Steam Generation:

1. Heat Transfer: Thermal energy is transferred from the heating medium to the working fluid inside the SA179 tubes.
2. Steam Generation: The working fluid undergoes phase change into steam as it reaches the boiling point.
3. Steam Distribution: The produced steam is collected and distributed to the desired application areas
