While steam is widely used in the manufacture of goods and materials, there are a wide range of other uses for steam that are common, but perhaps less well known. Some of Clayton’s customers are using stream to keep art galleries at ideal humidity levels, break winter ice in their city’s rivers, or power a good old fashion heritage steam locomotive. You’ll even find one in Jay Leno’s garage next to his exotic cars, where he powers an antique steam engine. No matter your industry, Clayton can provide a source for steam even if your application falls outside of established industry practice.
High pressure, or superheated steam, which is steam without moisture, is an ideal medium for industrial and mechanical work of all kinds, from turbines to simple rotational output shafts. Its use as a natural humidifier makes it well suited to adjusting the moisture levels in the air, creating ideal settings for specialized work, as well as creating a more comfortable indoor space for its occupants. Steam is also still used as a heating source, flowing through piping systems for use in radiators or convectors, warming residential, industrial, or commercial buildings.
Another application is clean steam, a sterile, safe steam that can be used to sterilize and clean items in a cleanroom or any other setting with strict cleanliness criteria. Clean steam—rather than standard steam— is ideal for higher levels of steam sterilization and humidification. This is normally accomplished with a steam to steam generator.
Pure steam is mainly used for sterilizing tanks, filters and piping systems, as well as products in sterilizers. Moreover, it is used for air-moistening in cleanroom systems.
Whatever your application, Clayton Steam Generators feature a compact size, quick start up, and industry leading reliability, making them the best solution to your steam needs, regardless of your industry.
