liquid by introducing steam directly into it: steam and liquid mix until the required temperature rise is reached. It has no moving parts, which reduces noise and vibration.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <a href=\"\/en\/product\/liquid-injector-260\/\">260<\/a>, a 316 stainless steel tube installed horizontally at the bottom of the tank, the steam injection draws the liquid in through the holes in the tube, where it mixes with the steam. This creates constant recirculation inside the tank, ensuring good mixing and a uniform temperature. In the <a href=\"\/en\/product\/liquid-heater-280\/\">280<\/a>, which is mounted in the pipe, the steam passes through small angled holes in the nozzle and forms jets that propel the liquid toward a low-pressure zone and create turbulence; the liquid leaves hotter and at a higher pressure than at the inlet.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valfonta, in Badalona since 1962, supplies this equipment and helps you choose the model, the size, and the number of injectors.
