- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, steam generation capacities commonly range from 100 kg/h to over 1000 kg/h, depending on the specific configuration.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz, with significant current draw depending on heater bank size.
- Feed water requirements
- Pure steam generators typically require high-purity feed water, such as RO or WFI quality water, to prevent scaling and maintain steam quality.
- Materials of construction
- Product contact parts are commonly constructed from 316L stainless steel, with electropolished surfaces to meet pharmaceutical standards.
- Control system
- Modern units commonly feature PLC-based control systems with HMI interfaces for automated operation and monitoring.
- Certifications
- Equipment in this category is typically designed to meet cGMP requirements and may hold certifications such as CE, PED, and ASME BPE standards.
