Thanks for the info, maybe it works.

Getting the steam in is easy getting the condensate out will require a stationary shoe pick up.

I'm not quite sure of all details you are actually looking for, but rotary joints are definetely 'it'.

Commercial solutions exists both for steam in and condensate out, combined.

The sealing technology is advanced and specialised, you would be better off buying an existing commercial available component.

Have for instance a look at: www.maier-heidenheim.de
