style=\"flex-basis:58.3%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Europe\u2019s largest vegetable-producing groups operates a large-scale plant nursery in the Region of Murcia. There, it produces millions of seedlings each growing season in cell trays, which are reused cycle after cycle. Between one planting and the next, each tray must be washed and disinfected to remove traces of growing medium, roots, and any pathogens that could be carried over to the next batch. In a nursery, a poorly sanitized tray is a direct route of contamination for the entire crop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The customer decided to incorporate steam into its tray-washing process. To do so, it designed a new, thermally insulated washing tunnel to make the most of the steam\u2019s energy. That tunnel required a steam source that met several conditions at once:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; A continuous and stable flow rate. It had to supply multiple application points simultaneously\u2014at the tunnel\u2019s entrance and exit\u2014without any pressure drops throughout the entire washing shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Easy integration into an agricultural facility. The equipment was not going to be installed in a boiler room, but rather in a production facility. A compact unit was needed\u2014one that would arrive ready to plug in and require as little installation work as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Autonomous operation. It was to be operated by seed plant staff, not specialized steam technicians. Water treatment, blowdowns, and control functions had to operate automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Protection of the boiler against tap water. The available water could not enter the boiler directly without prior treatment to ensure its service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Legalization. Since this is a pressurized system, the installation had to be registered with the Autonomous Community\u2019s Department of Industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center mb-0 has-body-main-color has-primary-20-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:4.3%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:72px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer dnone-tablet\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-h6 has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Solution Provided<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading text-h4\">Steam solution developed ad hoc by Giconmes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8.3%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide has-body-main-color has-primary-20-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:4.3%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proposed Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After conducting tests at our plant and making two visits to the nursery, Giconmes proposed an NGV-6060 skid-mounted electric steam generator: a complete, self-contained steam plant, ready to supply the car wash tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NGV-6060 produces up to 82 kg\/h of steam at 8.5 bar and 178 \u00b0C. Its 60 kW is distributed across two 30-kW heating elements, allowing it to operate at half power when demand is low. All components in contact with water are made of AISI 304 stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same platform integrates the water softener with automatic regeneration, the automatic drain valves, and the condensate tank. The unit arrives fully assembled and tested; all that\u2019s needed at the nursery is to connect the water supply, drain, and electricity. Steam is delivered to the tunnel via a quick-connect hose with thermal protection, which also carries the temperature control wiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proposal included thermal stress testing of the trays, coordination with the client\u2019s engineering team, installation, commissioning, training, and registration of the equipment with the Ministry of Industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technology

Maintenance is divided into a part that can be easily fulfilled by the owner:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p1\">Understand and follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions regarding use, safety measures, and maintenance.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Do not put the installation into service or allow pressure equipment to operate if the requirements of the Regulation are not met.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Having at least the following documentation for the pressure equipment while they are installed: Declaration of conformity, manufacturer&#8217;s instructions (if applicable), and, if necessary, installation certificate, along with other supporting documentation (such as installation project, record of the last periodic inspection, certifications of equipment repairs or modifications, and any other documentation required by the relevant technical instruction complementary to this regulation). For detailed contents, refer to Annex IV of the regulation. Making this documentation available to the competent authority of the autonomous community and the companies responsible for maintenance, repair, or periodic inspections.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Use pressure equipment within the operating limits specified by the manufacturer and take it out of service if it no longer meets the necessary safety requirements.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Maintain facilities, pressure equipment, safety accessories, and control devices in accordance with operating conditions and the manufacturer\u2019s instructions, <b>and inspect them at least once a year. <\/b><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Arrange for the corresponding periodic inspections to be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the regulation.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Having and maintaining an up-to-date record of pressure equipment categories I to IV, as defined in RD 709\/2015, of July 24, or equipment similar to these categories according to Article 3.2 of the regulation, as well as their installations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        \n    <button class=\"faqs-btn\">\n        <span>\n            <div class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open<\/div>\n        <\/span>\n        At what temperature is steam produced?

From there, depending on the required saturation degree of steam for its proper application, we need to increase the pressure to obtain a higher temperature. To change the temperature and saturation degree of steam, we always need to modify the pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        \n    <button class=\"faqs-btn\">\n        <span>\n
