There are many industrial processes that use hot water, for example employed for washing or pasteurization of products, typically in the food industry. Hot water can also be used in other types of processes to obtain pre-heating in the preliminary stages of production, but it can also be linked to heat recovery applications, increasing the overall efficiency and energy saving.
For the production of hot water, welded plate heat exchangers are used as steam heaters, exploiting high temperature steam to obtain water heated to the level required by the specific application.
Examples of applications in hot water production for industrial use:
