Pet Food Hot Water
Pet Food Hot Water - Hydro-Thermal Corp. Flow Rate: 150-200 GPM [34-45 m3/hr] Inlet Temperature: 120°F [49°C] Discharge Temperature: 180°F [82°C] Water Pressure: 70 PSIG [4.8 barg] Steam Supply Pressure: 100 PSIG [6.9 barg] A large Midwest, USA, pet food processor needed to replace their large shell and tube heat exchanger that supplied hot water to a tank and then out to a large recirculation system. Scaling was a major issue on the heat exchanger as well as high energy usage. The plant also needed to make sure it had enough hot water at the right temperature for peak usage hours. SOLUTIONA 4-inch EZ Heater® three-way valve was installed which now supplies hot water on demand for their processing floor. This system supplies hot water instantaneously for hose stations, spray bars
