Stainless Steel Steam Header & Tower

Stainless steel steam header and tower are core pressure vessel equipment for boiler steam distribution and chemical distillation separation. The steam header operates based on three core principles: equal pressure distribution, pressure stabilization & buffering, and steam-water separation. It realizes centralized distribution, pressure stabilization, pressure reduction and steam-water separation of boiler steam through a sealed pressure-bearing cylinder, ensuring stable pressure and uniform flow of multi-branch steam systems. The stainless steel tower operates based on the principle of counter-current gas-liquid two-phase contact + mass and heat transfer separation, realizing distillation, purification, absorption and extraction of mixed media through packing/tray structure inside the tower. As core pressure-bearing equipment for thermal systems and chemical processes certified by China Standardization Administration, AIX Boiler, as an original factory, strictly follows Standardization Administration of China standards GB150, TSG21-2016, independently controlling the whole process of design, manufacturing and testing to ensure safe, compliant, stable and durable products.

2. Working Principle & Structural Features

2.1 Stainless Steel Steam Header

Stainless steel steam header consists of pressure-bearing cylinder, head, steam inlet, multi-way distribution outlets, drain port, exhaust port, pressure gauge interface and safety valve interface, which is the core supporting equipment of boiler steam system. After high-temperature and high-pressure steam from the boiler enters the cylinder, it realizes steam-water separation and pressure stabilization through expansion, then is evenly distributed to each steam branch through multi-way outlets. It can also realize steam pressure reduction, steam collection, sewage discharge and other functions, effectively solving the problems of pressure fluctuation, uneven flow distribution and water carry-over in the steam system, ensuring the safe and stable operation of steam equipment. AIX products are made of 304/316L stainless steel, resistant to acid, alkali and corrosion, hygienic and easy to clean, suitable for steam, clean gas, non-toxic and non-explosive media, with high structural strength, stable pressure bearing and good sealing performance.

2.2 Stainless Steel Tower

Stainless steel tower consists of cylinder, head, tray/packing layer, feed inlet, discharge outlet, gas phase port, liquid phase port, manhole and support, divided into distillation tower, absorption tower, extraction tower, scrubber and other types. Gas and liquid phases flow counter-currently in the tower, realizing separation, purification and absorption of different components in the mixed medium through mass and heat transfer of trays/packing, widely used in distillation, purification, waste gas treatment and other processes in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. AIX products are made of 304/316L stainless steel, with reasonable structure design, high mass transfer efficiency, large operation flexibility, corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. Various structures such as packing type, sieve plate type and float valve type can be customized according to process requirements.
