ABSTRACT
Steam, a natural phenomenon used in cooking and medication, is known to all of us. Steam drives ships, blows whistles, and, in general, is part of our lives. We take it for granted. Heat up some water above 100°C (212°F) and we get steam. Traditional steam cleaning has been used successfully for a number of years for janitorial and food service applications. In this chapter, however, we discuss a patented cleaning technique based on superheated, high-pressure steam vapor.
