Steam Generator Selection Guide - Industry Comparison Table
Steam generators can be classified by heat source into electric steam generators, gas steam generators, biomass steam generators, and fuel oil steam generators; by structure, they can be divided into vertical and horizontal. Different industries have very different requirements for steam quality (pressure, temperature, moisture content, cleanliness).
Steam Demand Comparison Table for Five Major Industries
| Industry | Typical Steam Parameters | Recommended Model | Selection Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food Processing (Slaughtering/Brewing/Baking/Beverages) | 0.4-0.7MPa Saturated Steam | Electric Steam Generator/Gas | Clean steam, no impurities, meets food-grade standards |
| Chemical Reactions (Reactors/Evaporation Concentration) | 0.7-1.6MPa Superheated Steam | Gas/Biomass Steam | High temperature and high pressure, large evaporation volume |
| Pharmaceutical Extraction (TCM/Disinfectants/Preparations) | 0.3-0.5MPa Saturated Steam | Electric Steam Generator | No smoke or CO₂ pollution, complies with GMP |
| Textile Printing & Dyeing (Dyeing and Finishing/Printing) | 0.3-0.5MPa Saturated Steam | Gas/Biomass Steam | Continuous operation, large consumption |
| Disinfection & Sterilization (Hospitals/Pharmaceutical Factories) | 0.2-0.3MPa Saturated Steam | Electric Steam Generator | Clean, instant start, safe |
Selection by Evaporation Capacity
- Small (50-200KG/hour): Laboratories, restaurants, clinics, small laundries → Electric steam generator
- Medium (200-1000KG/hour): Food factories, pharmaceutical workshops, small printing & dyeing factories → Gas or electric steam
- Large (1-10 tons/hour): Chemical, textile printing & dyeing, large food factories → Gas or biomass steam
- Extra Large (over 10 tons): Central heating, cogeneration → Industrial boiler room

Common Questions About Steam Generator Selection
- Q: What does "no installation registration required" mean? A: Electric steam generators with a water volume of <30L are not within the scope of special equipment supervision and do not require a usage registration certificate from the Quality Supervision Bureau.
- Q: Is the thermal efficiency of 98%+ real? A: Electric steam generators have a short energy conversion path (electric energy → thermal energy → steam) with low losses, and thermal efficiency can reach over 98%.
- Q: Which type should be used in the food industry? A: Electric steam generators are most suitable, with clean steam without impurities, fast startup for intermittent operation, meeting food GMP and QS requirements.
- Q: Can it be used in the pharmaceutical industry? A: Electric steam generators meet GMP requirements and can be used for traditional Chinese medicine extraction, disinfectant preparation, reactor heating, and disinfection/sterilization.
