Description
Technical Field

[0002] Steam heaters are made of steel or stainless steel pipes. Steam flows inside the heating pipes, using steam as a heat source and transferring heat through the stainless steel pipes. They are widely used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Existing steam heaters include a stainless steel coil, a steam inlet and outlet, and a tank body. The stainless steel coil is set inside the tank body. Steam enters the stainless steel coil through the inlet and is output through the outlet. During the flow of steam, heat is transferred to heat the liquid in the tank body. However, the flow direction of steam is unidirectional, and the temperature of steam gradually decreases during the flow and heat transfer process. The closer the steam is to the outlet of the stainless steel coil, the lower the steam temperature is. This causes uneven heating of the liquid in the tank body, affecting the heating effect of the liquid in the tank body. To solve the problem of uneven heating of the liquid in the tank body, this application proposes a steam heating device. Utility Model Content
