Boiler house Steam injectors

System examples The tables below give steam capacities for some typical injector/valve/controller combinations for tanks vented to atmospheric pressure. Intermediate values may be obtained by linear interpolation. For alternatives or special applications refer to specific Spirax Sarco literature or contact our sales engineers. The tables below are examples only, and the valve/controller combinations shown may not be available in all markets. Note: Steam pressure at the injector will be much reduced and proper injection and mixing may not occur if a smaller valve (or larger injector) is fitted.
