Pick Heaters, Inc.
Company
Profile

In 1945, Pick Heaters developed and patented a unique concept of Direct Steam Injection Heating. The original approach has remained unaltered...keep it simple and self-stabilizing, minimize moving parts and make it completely reliable regardless of operating environment. It is this design philosophy that has Pick at the heart of heating for over 60 years in industries ranging from food to chemical and pharmaceutical processing, pulp and paper to power plants.

Pick Direct Steam Injection Heating Systems can be used to heat any water miscible liquid or aqueous slurry instantly.  Direct Steam Injection is much more energy efficient than its competitive method, Indirect Heat Exchange.

In Direct Steam Injection, steam is instantly blended into the process fluid, resulting in 100% heat transfer with full use of both the latent and sensible heat. There is no condensate to trap and recover.

Pick Custom Design - Custom Heat Transfer Packaged Systems

PCD systems incorporate various methods of heat transfer, including ancillary components for a complete skid or frame package, ready for customer final installation and start-up. This eliminates the chore for customers to piece-meal required piping, valves, traps and instrumentation along with added install costs. The customer relies on Pick to stand behind the complete scope of supply.

 

Customers can rely on over 60 years of Pick’s Direct Steam Injection packaged system design experience and know-how. Each system is “custom designed” to satisfy specific customer requirements in a compact skid or module.

Desuperheater DS Series

The water spray design of the Pick Heaters “Series DS” Desuperheater offers a simple, cost effective method of cooling steam to within 10°F of saturation.

The nozzle is positioned in the center and water is sprayed axially in the direction of the steam flow. The conical insert increases velocity while isolating it from thermal stress. Let Pick provide you with a Desuperheater or complete system to meet your needs.
