steam condensate line design
(OP)
With reference to steam condensate lines design, I would have your opinion about this matter.
If line are proper designed for two phase flow according the maps (let's say annular/wave or bubble flow) there is any risk of slug flow?
For a steam condensate line be free draining is mandatory or it is simply "good practice" but not required in any design criteria/code?
Thanks

But sloping is a requirement? If lines are designed properly and condensate network is operating in pressure, is slope required?
Thanks

For steam condensate is preferred, if possibile, but is not unusual see condensate return line at lower level of pipe racks, rising for road cross.

Minimum ambient temperature is 4°C so there is no problem with freezing.
