Steam pressing device with steam plates

A steam press system for pressing fabrics, comprising:

• a first steam plate configured to receive steam at a first steam plate inlet and evacuate the steam through a first steam plate outlet;
• a second steam plate configured to receive steam at a second steam plate inlet and evacuate the steam through a second steam plate outlet;
• wherein the first steam plate includes a first inner surface which faces a second inner surface of the second steam plate, wherein the first inner surface and the second inner surface each include a pattern of evenly distributed holes having a diameter of 2 mm to 6 mm;
• wherein the first steam plate further includes a first steam plate housing having the first inner surface, a top cover, and a first middle region, wherein the top cover includes extensions around its circumference which protrude past the first inner surface;
• wherein the second steam plate includes a second steam plate housing having the second inner surface, a bottom cover and a second middle region, wherein the second inner surface has a groove around its circumference, the groove configured to receive the extensions of the first steam plate housing;
• a first piping arrangement connected to the first steam plate outlet and the second steam plate outlet;
• a first pump connected to the first piping arrangement, the first pump configured to draw steam from the first piping arrangement and expel the steam at a first pump outlet;
• a heat exchanger having a first heat exchanger inlet port connected to the first pump outlet;
• a second pump configured to pump fresh water at a first temperature from a freshwater source into a second heat exchanger inlet port;
• wherein the heat exchanger is configured to condense the steam into the fresh water and heat the fresh water to a second temperature greater than the first temperature;
• a heat exchanger outlet port configured to expel the heated water;
• a third pump connected to the heat exchanger outlet port;
• a storage tank inlet connected to the third pump;
• a fourth pump connected to a storage tank outlet;
• a steam generator having a resistive heating element and a steam generator inlet, wherein the steam generator inlet is connected to the fourth pump, the steam generator configured to:
• receive the heated water at the second temperature from the fourth pump,
• boil the heated water to generate steam at a third temperature;
• and
• deliver the steam to the first steam plate inlet and the second steam plate inlet through a second piping arrangement.
