Thermal deaerator
A thermal deaerator is used for reducing the oxygen content of steam boiler feedwater. Without proper treatment, feedwater for steam boilers typically has a high oxygen content of 8-10 mg/l, which causes critical corrosion in the system.
Theory of operation
The condensate and the make-up water are mixed so that a temperature of 60-70°C is reached before conducted to the top of the deaerator. A nozzle vaporizes the water, so the gases can escape the layer that surrounds every single water molecule.
Steam is conducted to the bottom of the deaerator through a pressure reducing valve and steam injectors create the necessary turbulence in the water for an efficient deaeration. The excess gases are allowed to escape through a vent with a restriction.
Plant design
A thermal deaerator from EUROWATER is available in 12 modules with flow rates up to 40 m3/h and tank volume from 1,450 litres to 23,150 litres. The deaerator is constructed according to CE regulations. The deaerator tank is made of steel with a coating for corrosion protection.
All units come with standard documentation for easy installation, operation, and maintenance.
Please contact your local sales and service office for data sheets and further information.

Option
Insulate to prevent heat loss
Prevent the condensation of steam and loss of heat by insulating the deaerator, and in general all installations in contact with hot water. A deaerator from EUROWATER can be supplied insulated with 100 mm of mineral wool covered by aluminium plate.
Option
Sample cooler - monitor the work of the deaerator
Use a sample cooler to monitor the function of the boiler or the thermal deaerator. A sample cooler ensures efficient cooling according to the counter-current principle and no contamination of the sample.
