Abstract
An apparatus for heating and degassing water by means of steam, consisting of two columns (1, 17) with a co-current arrangement and counter-current arrangement of water and steam, and having packing or internals arranged therein, having a water distributor (11, 16) arranged at the top of each of the columns, having a water feed line (8) and a steam feed line (9), having a flushing steam feed line (22) arranged below the counter-current column and a deaeration line (15), located between the two columns, for the gas/steam mixture which is to be extracted. The lines lead into housings which are joined above, between and below the preferably cylindrical columns to the latter. In the upper part of the apparatus, a mixing chamber (5) is provided into which the water to be degassed is introduced via spray nozzles (7).
