Abstract
To avoid using high quality heat to boil water condensed from a moist gas stream and to increase the overall thermal efficiency in a system requiring a supply of steam obtained by boiling water condensed from a moist gas stream, the condensing of the desired amount of water is done in a combined condenser/boiler wherein the condensed out water is separated from the gas stream, reduced in temperature, and throttled to a pressure wherein it is converted to steam back in the condenser/boiler using only the heat of condensation and sensible heat from the moist gas stream during the condensing step.
