Abstract
Kurita Dropwise Technology has been installed to over 100 factories, mainly in Japan and South east Asia. From these references, the improvement of steam consumption by 3～20 % and other new values were also confirmed, such as the improvement of the paper machine speed, the cut of maintenance operation, the decrease of loss products, the time saving of pre-heating and so on.
In recent years, this technology has been installed not only to paper factory but also other factories, and great effects were confirmed in each factories, such as a condenser of power boilers，a corrugator in cardboard factories, a cooking instrument in chemical factories, and so on.
We have had trials for applying to new facilities, such as a turbine condenser in power boilers, an 1E can and condensers in black liquor evaporators, a steam dry process in pulp sheet machines, and so on. Kurita believes that we can contribute to create the new value for society and companies, by installing this technology and maximize heat transfer efficiencies of more factories.
