Steamaster is ...
- ... a Screw-Rotor Steam Engine that fits perfect smaller CHP (Combined Heat and Power) applications
- ... Your Chance to turn excess steam power into reusable energy
Application Area:
The applications may include, but are not limited to industries, where excess steam is available, like
- biomass boilers
- decentralized CHP application
- geothermic energy resources
- power stations
- pharmaceutical industry
- ethanol industry
- paper and pulp industry
- tinned food industry
- pyrolysis
- sugar industry
- chemical industry generally
- ammonia plants
- solar energy
- metallurgy
- waste incineration
- etc.
Principle of Screw-Rotor Steam Engines:
The operational cycle of a Screw-Rotor Steam Engine is based on Rankin`s standard process. It uses the excess energy of compressed steam, to provide mechanical energy for an electric generator or for other, mechanically driven machines.
Steamaster is a rotary engine, and actually work as a back-pressure screw compressor.
The main parts of the engine include two screws (rotors), which are placed in the barrel (casing), creating a working chamber.
The steam enters the casing through the intake port in the passage formed between the tips of the rotor teeth. During rotation the volume of the chamber increases.
Intake is finished when the rotor faces pass the guiding edges and the chamber is separated from the intake port. The steam expansion starts at this stage, and mechanical power is created at the output shaft.
Advantages of the Screw-Rotor Steam Engines:
- compactness and simplicity of design
- low operating and maintainance costs
- long lifetime (appr. 150 000 working hours), no mechanical wear inside the engine
- wide power control range (20% - 100%)
