Why Use SteamWhy Use SteamWhy Use SteamWhy Use SteamSteam is an
efficient heat transfer medium
Steam is easily
controlled
We have a lot of knowledge concerning
steam
We have already developed the equipment and
expertise to design and install steam systems for many
different applications

How We Create SteamHow We Create Steam
• Steam is created by adding Heat Energy to water.
• Heat Energy is expressed in Btu’s.
• 1 Btu is the amount of Heat Energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1F.

Heat Energy – Sensible HeatHeat Energy – Sensible Heat
• Sensible Heat is the amount of Heat Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 32°F to the boiling point (saturated liquid) at a given pressure– Sensible Heat raises the temperature of the water and
can be sensed with a thermometer

Heat Energy – Latent HeatHeat Energy – Latent Heat
• Latent Heat is the amount of Heat Energy required to transform water at the boiling point (saturated liquid) to steam– Adding Latent Heat does not raise the temperature –
saturated liquid and steam have the same temperature for a given pressure

What is the Effect of Pressure?What is the Effect of Pressure?
Increased Pressure:
– Decreases the amount of Latent Heat
– Increases the amount of Sensible Heat
