Abstract
A steam direct injection injector and direct injection heater assembly. The injector defines an enclosure having an upstream end that is constructed to receive a steam fluid flow and a plurality of radially oriented orifices that are configured to distribute and inject the steam into a surrounding fluid. A seat is disposed proximate a downstream end of the injector and a movable plug or modulating component is disposed within the enclosure proximate the seat. A biasing element is disposed between the seat and the modulating component and configured to interact with the seat and the modulating component to allow selective exposure of a second heating section without obstructing a first heating section that are defined by the radially oriented orifices of the injector.
