The main function of these injectors is to raise the temperature of liquids, such as water, in tank or boiler systems, using steam to heat them evenly and continuously. Their operation is based on the <strong>controlled mixing of steam with the cold liquid<\/strong>, which allows effective and uniform heat transfer.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In tank systems, the injector draws in the cold liquid, mixes it internally with the steam, and distributes it heated throughout the tank. This keeps the temperature high and stable, optimizing system performance and ensuring an efficient process. In larger installations, several injectors can be connected in parallel to handle higher flows and cover larger volumes of liquid.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"inyectores-de-vapor-y-liquidos-de-valfonta\">Valfonta steam and liquid injectors<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valfonta <strong>industrial steam injectors<\/strong> have been specifically designed to meet the demands of a variety of industrial applications. They are not only designed to heat water; they are also suitable for other liquids used in industrial processes.

According to Bernoulli\u2019s principle, as velocity increases, pressure decreases: that low pressure draws in the liquid, which mixes with the steam and is heated. In the <a href=\"\/en\/product\/liquid-injector-260\/\">260 injector<\/a>, the jet draws liquid from the tank through the holes in the tube and creates a recirculation that evens out the temperature. In the <a href=\"\/en\/product\/liquid-heater-280\/\">280 liquid heater<\/a>, the angled jets from the nozzle drive the liquid toward a low-pressure zone, where turbulence mixes steam and liquid; the liquid leaves hotter and at a higher pressure.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is where the installation recommendations come from: keep the suction holes clean, do not place anything in the discharge area, and work with the steam pressure given in the datasheet table.
