Penn Blowdown Separators & Tanks

The modern and efficient way of handling boiler intermittent blowdown. Separators have also been used for hydronic safety relief valve discharges, deaerator overflows, autoclave draining, and other high flow pressurized condensate to drain applications.

Penn Flash Separators

Flash separators use a tangential inlet and cyclonic action to instantly separate steam and condensate.

Penn Exhaust Silencers

When steam air and other gases are vented to atmosphere at high velocities noise is created. Typically the higher the velocity the louder the noise level. Penn makes two models of exhaust silencers to reduce noise levels.  

The SP Silencer

The SP Exhaust Silencer is a single pass silencer designed to give maximum attenuation of both low and high frequency noise for air, steam, or gas exhausting to atmosphere.

The SP-S Silencer

The SP-S Exhaust Silencer is an economical approach to silencing where the noise level reduction does not have to be as great as the SP model. The SP-S Silencer has the same physical configurations as the SP Silencer except that it is two-thirds the length of an SP Silencer.

Cleaver-Brooks Condensate Recovery

Helps to improve energy efficiency, reduce chemical costs, reduce make-up water costs, reduce sewer system disposal costs, and meet environmental regulations by returning condensate back to the system.

• Blowoff Tanks for specific applications and ASME code requirements

Shipco Flash Tanks & Recovery

Vertical flash tanks, horizontal flash tanks, or flash Recovery vessels are used to reduce high-pressure steam to a low-pressure state before returning the steam in your system.

Shipco Condensate Recovery

Condensate pumps are designed to collect condensed liquid at remote locations in a steam system and move it back to the boiler room. Condensate can be driven by either electricity or steam. Motor-driven pumps typically have centrifugal type pumps and include controls that de-energize the pump when water level in receiver is low. 

A typical motor-driven unit consists of a 3/16″ thick, welded steel receiver or cast iron receiver with an industry-standard electric motor that is close coupled to a bronze-fitted, centrifugal pump. Both simplex and duplex configurations are available with/without mounted, pre-wired control panels. The steam-driven units are typically used in hazardous environments or where electricity may not be readily available.

TLV Steam Traps

TLV originated the concept of using a perfect sphere as a valve mechanism, supported by the high-quality precision production technology to make it possible. Offers a full line of steam traps including:

• Free Float – amazing durability and sealing properties
• Thermodynamic Disc-Type – these traps utilize the difference in the temperatures of steam and condensate.
• Thermostatic – These traps utilize the difference in the temperatures of steam and condensate, which are also known as “temperature control traps” or “balanced pressure traps.”
• PowerTrap – A Condensate recovery mechanical pump with integral trap requiring no electricity. 

• Operating Pressure Range: Vacuum – 200 psig
• Operating Temperature Range: 32 – 392 °F

Plate Concepts Heat Exchangers

Plate Concepts is an American supplier of plate and frame heat exchangers. We offer a wide range of plate heat exchanger sizes and configurations for your liquid to liquid cooling, heating, and heat recovery requirements.

Special plate heat exchanger designs are also available for handling viscous products and fluids with suspended solids as well as for steam heating, vapor condensing and vaporizing duties.

Gasketed Plates – Compact Design Ideal for Tight Spaces.  Minimal footprint enables installation at locations where available space is at a premium.

Brazed Plates – Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers by Plate Concepts offer many cost-effective and energy-saving benefits to a variety of process applications.  These compact, copper or nickel-brazed units are gasket free – allowing for higher operating pressures and temperatures than gasketed plate heat exchangers.
