  • Page 52: High Temperature Selection

    To reduce the heat effects of condensing processes, we must either condense or physically block the vapor. SOR uses a condensing system to avoid the sealing problems associated with blocking the steam. Dry Heat processes transfer heat through direct conduction. Heat is only passed to the areas where they touch the enclosure.
