A Steam and Air Heat Exchanger is a finned-tube coil that uses steam as the heating medium. When steam enters the coil, heat transfers through the tube walls and fins, generating clean, controlled hot air that enters the drying chamber.
How Steam & Air Heat Exchangers Improve Textile Fabric Drying
1. Fast, Uniform Drying of Fabrics
Steam coils deliver a consistent heat profile that prevents over-drying or uneven drying. Fabrics maintain stable shrinkage, color, softness, and moisture regain.
2. Energy-Efficient Heat Transfer
High thermal conductivity fins maximize heat exchange efficiency, reducing steam usage and lowering operating costs.
3. Clean and Hygienic Heating Source
Since steam is a clean energy medium, the produced hot air is free from combustion gases—critical for dyeing and finishing operations where fabric quality must be controlled.
4. Suitable for High Airflow Drying Equipment
These coils are widely used in:
Textile stenter machines
Hot air dryers
Tenter frames
Relax dryers
Coating & flocking drying ovens
Heat setting lines
Yarn and fiber drying equipment
Applications in the Textile Industry
Steam and Air Heat Exchangers are commonly used in:
| Textile Process | How Heat Exchanger Helps |
Stenter Machine Drying | Provides stable hot air for fabric width setting and moisture control |
Coating Machine Drying | Ensures fast drying of chemical coatings without scorching |
Shrinkage / Relax Dryer | Provides controlled heat for shrinkage stabilization |
