Design entry in a rotary vessel

[compresor]

Hi, i´m looking for some information how to design steam entry in a vessel that rotate in a point. What i want to know is the elements i need to let the vessel rotate with a fixed and rigid steam inlet pipe.

What is the steam inlet pressure and vessel pressure ?

Is a cylindrical pressure vessel 800 mm diameter, works at 4 bar g, that has a 2" nozzle, the fluid used is steam.

Are you talking about using something like a rotary joint?

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:
