Increasing the Productivity of Steam Making steam is not difficult. In a manufacturing environment, however, the challenge lies in harnessing the energy of steam in a manner that makes it available quickly, costeffectively and safely. This is where Clayton Industries excels. The design of conventional boilers has changed little since the 19th Century. In simplistic terms, water in a vessel or tube is heated by surrounding hot gases. After sufficient heating, the resultant steam is discharged. All Clayton steam generators and waste heat boilers employ more sophisticated principles:...

Performing With Drill Team Precision Each component of a Clayton steam generator is designed for optimal utility. The result is a remarkably efficient unit that functions as smoothly and precisely as a drill team. A heavy-duty positive displacement diaphragm pump provides precise water control. Superbly engineered and ruggedly constructed, a Clayton pump is pack-less and seal-less: features that contribute to its remarkable dependability. A single high-grade carbon steel continuous-coil heat exchanger employs a staggered configuration and spacing of coil sections to help ensure turbulent...

Efficiency by Design Fuel Efficient, Quality Steam, Low Blowdown The Clayton focus on innovation in steam generation technology pays off for users in an abundance of very practical ways … benefits that translate into improved performance on the production or processing line, and in measurable cost savings as well. As a result of unique design and easily proven operational advantages, Clayton steam generators are noted for fuel efficiency, rapid start-ups, compact size and reduced weight, delivery of high quality steam, safety, and fuel burning versatility. Clayton generators run on natural...

Start Fast, Finish Strong Fast Start, Rapid Response Efficiency is proven on the factory floor. Among the operating features of Clayton steam generators that are valued most by industrial customers are quick starts and rapid response to changing load demands. Where conventional boilers require extended start-ups, a Clayton steam generator can be brought to a full head of steam in as little as five minutes. The quick start and response capabilities result primarily from the low water content, forced circulation and helical coil design. What’s more, corporations worldwide frequently favor...

Preventing Problems Boosts Efficiency Scale and Soot Control Clayton recognizes that controlling familiar steam production problems contributes to production or processing line efficiency. That’s why a Clayton steam generator has features designed to inhibit the build-up of scale and soot. Because scale and soot act as insulators that inhibit heat transfer, both result in wasted fuel. One-sixteenth of an inch of scale requires 15% more fuel; 1/32 of an inch of soot requires 12% more. Thicker build-ups affect fuel consumption more drastically. Further, a Clayton steam generator provides an...

Consider the Advantages of Small Low Weight/Space, Safety “Good things come in small packages,” right? And if proof is ever needed, it’s as close as the nearest Clayton steam generator. Because every Clayton unit, from smallest to largest, incorporates counterflow and controlled circulation design, they occupy considerably less floor space than conventional boilers of equal capacity. Additionally, a Clayton steam generator is considerably lighter than its conventional counterpart. The weight difference can be as much as 75%. The economic advantages to the user are apparent. Clayton steam...

Heat Recovery Delivers Additional Cost Benefits In a great many applications, heat is a necessity. In any application, wasted heat is wasted money. That’s why Clayton offers a complete line of heat recovery systems used worldwide in marine, industrial and power plant operations. Recovering heat from engines, turbines, ovens and furnaces, Clayton Waste Heat Steam Generators (WHSGs) and Exhaust Gas Boilers (EGBs) work with input temperatures as low as 480°F (250°C), and as high as 3,500°F (1,925°C). Available in a variety of steam/water flow configurations, WHSGs and EGBs, like the company’s...
