Therma-Steem Industrial XL3 — 40kW Dual-Output Steam for Heavy-Duty Continuous Production
The Therma-Steem XL3 is the high-capacity version of the XL1 — the same 155 PSI and 365°F output pressure and temperature, but with a 40kW heating element instead of 20kW. That doubles steam production from 55 lbs/hour to 110 lbs/hour, enabling two simultaneous operator hose stations or continuous cleaning of larger surface areas without waiting for steam pressure to rebuild. Electrical requirement is 480V, 3-phase, 49 amps (up from 26 amps on the XL1).
Therma-Steem XL3 Steam Output, PSI, and Heating Capacity
The XL3 exists for facilities where the XL1's 55 lbs/hour output becomes the production bottleneck — multi-operator applications or high-throughput cleaning lines where downtime between cycles is unacceptable.
110 lbs of steam per hour — double the XL1; supports two simultaneous hose stations or one station with higher continuous output
40kW incoloy heating element — maintains 155 PSI and 365°F during continuous dual-hose operation without pressure drop
155 PSI / 365°F output — identical to XL1; penetration capability and thermal sanitization performance are unchanged from the smaller model
Continuous-fill design — 7-gallon reserve feeds 5-gallon stainless steel boiler; refill during operation with no pressure interruption
97% dry vapor steam — suitable for electrical component cleaning and food contact surface sanitation
All stainless steel construction — boiler carries lifetime warranty; 10" rubber and 5" locking wheels for positioning
XL3 Applications and Environments
High-throughput food processing plants where multiple sanitation stations operate simultaneously are the primary XL3 application — two operators working from one unit rather than two separate XL1 units reduces capital cost and maintenance overhead. Large aircraft maintenance hangars cleaning entire airframe sections rather than individual components benefit from the continuous high-output steam. Military depots running three-shift operations where equipment must be ready for the next shift without cooling periods between cleanings use the XL3's no-downtime design. KOSHER-certified commercial kitchens cleaning large equipment arrays — ovens, industrial mixers, conveyor systems — use the dual-hose output to reduce sanitation time per shift. The XL3 shares identical footprint dimensions (33" × 23" × 34") and weight (215 lbs) with the XL1 — a facility already running an XL1 can add an XL3 without infrastructure changes beyond the electrical supply upgrade to 49 amps.
XL3 Steam Temperature, PSI, and Dry-Steam Output
Output conditions are identical to the XL1: 365°F (185°C) boiler temperature, 155 PSI (10.7 bar) output pressure, 97% dry vapor quality. The XL3's 40kW element maintains these conditions at 110 lbs/hour — the XL1's 20kW element would drop pressure or temperature under equivalent load. Ships with the same full accessory kit as the XL1: 25 ft SS hose, trigger gun, wand extensions, brush set, squeegee, microfiber cloths, safety equipment. Electrical requirement: 480V, 3-phase, 49 amps — also available in 220V or 575V upon request.

Both produce steam at 155 PSI and 365°F. The XL3 uses a 40kW heating element (versus 20kW on the XL1) to produce 110 lbs of steam per hour — double the XL1's 55 lbs/hour. This enables two simultaneous hose stations or higher single-station output. Electrical draw increases from 26 amps to 49 amps at 480V, 3-phase.
Can the XL3 run two operator stations simultaneously?
Yes. The 110 lbs/hour steam output and 40kW element are sized to support dual-hose operation — two operators working simultaneously from a single unit without pressure drop. This is the primary reason to choose the XL3 over two separate XL1 units.
What is the electrical requirement for the XL3?
The XL3 requires 480V, 3-phase, 49 amps. Also available in 220V and 575V 3-phase configurations upon request. Facilities without 3-phase power cannot use the XL3 — see the propane-fired Ultra 250 or Ultra 600 for single-phase alternatives.
Does the XL3 require a pressure vessel certification or third-party inspection?
The Therma-Steem XL3 operates below the OSHA pressure threshold that requires third-party pressure vessel certification. Standard industrial safety features include: low water alarm, DIN temperature control, high pressure limit switch, and pressure relief valve.
What are the safety features built into the XL3?
The XL3 includes: low water alarm (signals when reserve tank needs refilling), DIN temperature control (maintains setpoint automatically), high pressure limit switch (prevents over-pressurization), and pressure relief valve (safety release for fault conditions).
Is the XL3 USDA allowable for food processing environments?
Yes. The Therma-Steem XL3 is USDA allowable for use in food processing facilities. The 97% dry vapor steam leaves no chemical residue and the unit generates no fumes — both required for food contact surface sanitation in USDA-inspected facilities.

Perfect vacuum cleaner
Perfect vacuum cleaner. Well made , goes around chair & table legs easily
Located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we acquired our Brio Air Filter in mid-late Spring of this year (2023) when pollen count was high and we were beginning to experience the effects of Poor Air Quality Index as a result of smoke particulates from fires in Canada that caused the air in much of Minnesota to become hazy and simply dirty.
It is so easy to share our experience with the Brio Air Filter given how quickly and efficiently it removed pollen, dust, and smoke particles from the environment inside our home. Two people in our home who suffer from pollen-related allergies during the spring immediately experienced easier breathing and elimination of symptoms within the house. With respect to smoke particulates from Canada drifting into our environment, EVERYONE in our home experienced directly improved breathing and smell of the air when entering from outside.
An additional piece of information to account for is that we have always employed high grade furnace filters in our home’s central HVAC system. With that high grade filtration in place both prior to and after acquiring a Brio home air filter, we all quickly agreed that deploying the Brio in our home made an easily noticeable positive difference in breathing inside our home. Additionally, those of us who clean our home have observed that dust builds up slower on our floors and furniture than before we deployed the Brio unit.
We did note that the Brio is not as quiet as a few other brands/models on the market that we have tried in our home but the efficiency and quality of the filtration, along with the air turnover rate it provides,allows us to locate the Brio unit in central rooms away from the bedrooms. Since we made that change there has been no noise-related effect on our sleep, while the unit maintains the same level of air cleanliness throughout our home.
A last key point to make is how easy the Brio unit is to maintain. The simplicity of the modular construction of the Brio unit makes it very quick and easy to keep the filtration sections clean. We have not yet reached a point of filter replacement but it is obvious to us that the replacement will take a matter of seconds and can be executed by anyone in our home, including our 10-year-old son.
It seems to help reduce my allergy issues. We're glad we bought it. The only problem I had was not seeing any cubic footage recommendations in the online description when purchasing the unit. Bedrooms vary widely in size!!
