That’s why when UAB’s District System Steam Project begins full operations this month, a condensate return system will be in place. And it will far surpass the energy efficiency of the old Powell ...

This month, I will attempt to shed some clarity on the things you will find on the side opposite the steam supply valve on a two-pipe radiator.

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 ...

For an even larger boiler efficiency increase, consider a high-pressure condensate return system on your largest steam users. This keeps your condensate at a higher pressure. The condensate does not ...

They should be. In fact, all the pipes in a steam-heating system should be insulated, including the condensate-return lines. Uninsulated steam lines have more than five times the heat loss of steam ...

Steam supply main — Connects to the header and delivers steam via branch run-outs to the radiators. It will also deliver condensate to the drip connection in a one-pipe system. Drip connection — The ...

Purification or “polishing” of the return condensate is essential to guarantee a high-quality feedwater to the downstream boiler.

How Steam Conservation in Food Manufacturing Facilities Provides a Win for the Bottom Line and the Planet Making your food manufacturing facility’s systems more efficient provides significant ...

However, because the condensate return purity in co-gen and industrial steam generators often does not meet high-pressure feedwater guidelines, AVT (O) is usually not acceptable.

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 ...

Selecting the right steam control system, and using best practices for piping and installation, can have a huge effect on production, downtime, and the health and safety of end users. Steam control ...
