So, the capture of hot condensate left over from the steam generated by the coal-fire plant and return of it to the boiler for re-use likely wasn’t a consideration at the drawing table. “It probably ...

Look at how the condensate-return line approaches the inlet to the condensate-receiver tank. There should be a continuous downhill run from the lowest steam trap to that inlet. If you see the return ...

Note the multiple condensate return lines. Illustration courtesy of ChemTreat, Inc. Depending on boiler pressure and design, and the processes served by the boiler steam, makeup treatment may ...

Every SCAP system design should include not just the coils, but also options for condensate return and steam conditioning and control, provisions for steam trapping and venting, and—potentially ...

Another issue in food and beverage applications is the steam trap and condensate return system, which should remove condensate quickly to allow heat transfer to occur and eliminate the stall point.

The steam is condensed by a heat exchanger system ... Purification or “polishing” of the return condensate is essential to guarantee a high-quality feedwater to the downstream boiler.

A steam trap is an automatic valve that filters out condensate as it collects in pipes. When enough condensate builds up, the trap opens up and releases it into other pipes called the condensate ...

The only pipes leaving and returning to the Powerhouse are the steam supply and the condensate return. The key element that makes this possible is the departure from conventional steam-to-water heat ...

The condensate collected in the drip pots of the steam lines is saturated or sub-cooled water that flashes when passing through the component, which continues flashing along the drain line.

Maintenance for steam systems focuses on water analysis and treatment, expansion joins, condensate return pumps, valves and steam traps and the required maintenance is constant. If steam systems are ...

high-pressure steam pipes and steam condensate return anchors in the main utility tunnel for the campus. The issue was discovered during a routine inspection in December during the height of winter.
