    Pressurized Condensate Tank-Air or Steam Pad?

    Thanks for the replies. As for the flasing problem, this occurred in some of the higher temperature return lines to the tank whenever the tank pressure was lowered. When pressure is maintained in the tank vapor space at 30 psig or above, the flashing does not occur. The return temperatures run...
