Condensate that is discharged by the steam traps fitted at the process equipment should be allowed to flow by gravity to a local condensate receiver. The collected condensate should then be pumped to the condensate return line to the feedtank for re-use as boiler feedwater. Since I am well...
I cannot at this point give you the calculation you required. However, in the case of steam volume, good engineering practice require that you calculate the volume of steam required by the process and that's it. Not more because it is wasteful and not less because your process will suffer. In...
I fully agree with Mcronin. I would advise him to contsct a local guy from Spirax-Sarco. They have knowledgable and experience engineers to put this condensate return system working correctlyand saving for him fuel cost. We do this here in our country. I can help you if you have the details of...
