Applications
Process heating
A wide range of duties can be satisfied by using the EasiHeat. By using an EasiHeat unit, low pressure primary operation is
available for temperature sensitive fluids.
Saves design time. Easier to select and own than traditional shell-and-tube systems.
Flexible option packages for steam conditioning, isolation Results in a complete system: Steam in, hot water out. and high limit control. Choice of Suits any plant. electric or pneumatic controls. As a result of extensive development and testing, your Simply choose the package which suits your hot water needs can be met by a hot water requirements. small range of packages. Unique plate heat Highly efficient, low maintenance solution to hot water heating exchanger design. by steam, without scaling problems. Precisely matched Accurate temperature control and optimum steam controls. condensate drainage.
Separator set
Steam conditioning
To operate at maximum efficiency a heat exchanger must be supplied with clean dry steam. A wide range of Spirax Sarco separators and strainers are available to ensure this is always the case. The EasiHeat can be supplied with steam conditioning as an option, with associated system ancillaries.
Pipeline ancillaries
Spirax Sarco has a wide range of pipeline ancillaries including check valves and stop valves, which are designed for use on steam and water systems. The EasiHeat can be supplied with isolation valves and strainers as an option.
AEH-PT-DHW
Cold water
EasiHeat, with its full range of option packages, provides the complete solution to steam heat exchange needs. Within this package, the key components are matched and configured for optimum performance.
Optimized design
The EasiHeat can be supplied with an automatic pump-trap which enables system operation at low or sub-atmospheric steam pressure, even when a back pressure is imposed. For duties where a large secondary temperature rise is required and sudden, large load changes are expected (such as instantaneous domestic hot water applications) a design has been developed which will provide stable secondary temperatures even under these most demanding of conditions. Operating at a low condensing temperature will minimize the possibility of scaling, especially in open secondary circuits, when operating in hard water areas.

Separator set
Basic unit
The core of an effective, safe, well engineered steam heat exchange solution. The basic package contains all the key components that contribute to the EasiHeat's unmatched performance.
Option
A pneumatic or electrically actuated, fail-safe, high limit function that will automatically isolate the steam supply if a pre-set secondary temperature is reached. The high limit function has its own controller with manual reset, separate from the main temperature controller. On EasiHeat DHW units, activation of the high limit option also isolates the motive steam supply to the APT14 combined pump-trap.
Option
Bellows sealed stop valves fitted to the steam inlet and condensate outlet connections to enable isolation of the primary circuit, together with a strainer to protect the temperature control valve.
package options
Option
The stop valve package together with a separator set, removes the entrained water droplets in the steam. This ensures that dry saturated steam is delivered to the EasiHeat unit.
Option
Both the high limit option and the stop valve set, combined into one package.
Option
Controller
Sensor
Fast acting sensor. High limit sensor available.
Full function programmable controller. Real time clock. P + I + D control EL2300 Fast acting sensor for control and high limit.
Optional extras
The standard EL2300 controller that is supplied with the EasiHeat can provide a signal to operate a high limit cut-out device. An independant high limit circuit is available as an options package. A choice of electric or pneumatically actuated high limit valve options provide a fail-safe operation.
The innovative Spirax Sarco APT is the smallest automatic pump-trap available. It ensures the system remains fully drained of condensate and enables the system to operate against high back pressure or allows the use of sub-atmospheric primary steam pressure to prevent: Scaling. Unwanted flash steam. No additional steam trap is required with the APT. However, a full range of float and thermostatic traps is available for situations where the plant drainage conditions do not call for a pumping function.
The heat exchanger has created system capabilities not previously possible within the limits of traditional shell-and-tube systems, or other plate heat exchanger designs: Compact design. Easy to add or remove plates to alter capacity. Minimal maintenance. Flexible plates resistant to thermal fatigue. No tubes to crack or replace. Design and operation discourage scaling even in open systems. Superior corrosion resistance. Gaskets designed for steam allow peak temperatures up to 356F.
Heat exchanger
Performance
The Easiheat system will deliver constant outlet temperatures of 2-3F under stable load conditions. When subjected to sudden load changes, typical in domestic water heating systems, Easiheat will provide instantaneous performance of 9F from set point without the use of a buffer tank or mixing valve.

Steam flowrate
This is the steam being delivered to the EasiHeat unit at the correct pressure and temperature.
Secondary temperature
This is the flow of hot water at a constant temperature for the heating requirements.
Performance benefit
Because EasiHeat provides a stable secondary temperature, a secondary circuit buffer tank is not always necessary to smooth out the large temperature swings that can occur with conventional heat exchange units servicing instantaneous Domestic Hot Water duties. This provides savings in space, weight and the need to inspect for legionella in vessels which store potable water.
