Vapor infusion implementation The vapor infusion system is relatively compact and easily installed on most heat exchangers ( Figure 6 ). The system requires a compressed air and electric source , as well as a simple connection to the treated water flow stream . The vapor infusion system operating conditions are based on the heat exchanger operating conditions , including water flow rate , temperature , and pressure . The system functions automatically , infusing periodically depending on heat exchanger application and cooling system operation . The only labor required after installation is a periodic cartridge change and simple maintenance of air filters for excessive moisture and / or oil from the compressed air source . Heat Transfer Research , Inc . ( HTRI ) is the exclusive worldwide provider for vapor infusion technology for heat
