Hi I am designing a condensate pipeline. I have a problem how to determine condensate temperature. The condensate pipeline is about 110 m long. Dividied in to two section in a building and outside. The pressure before steam traps is 6 bar. Behind the steam traps I lift the pipeline by 5 m. Then...

Hi I am designing return line which collects condensate from couple of steam traps. Steam pressure upstream control valves is 12 barg, control valves reduces steam pressure to 6 barg. The problem is that I need to lift my common line over a door. Usually I lift condensate from a single steam...

Hi I want to check stress in carbon steel elbow (this is preinsulated underground hot water pipeline). I know all forces (axial, transverse, moment) but don't know where to put them. Should the elbow at one end should be constrained and on the other one I should put loads? Thanks in advance.

Hi At the end of steam mains which works periodic (8 hrs per day) thermostatic air vent is installed. I wonder if there should be fitted check valve after thermostatic air vent to prevent air to come back when steam line is cold. What do you think?

Hi I just wonder if it is necessary to design drip leg for water residues before air preparation block (filter/regulator w manual drain + lubricator). Compressor is equipped with a refigerant air dryer. All piplines are in heated rooms. Chris

Hi I’m designing steampipeline for thermal processing of meat. Steam at 0.5 g will be used in steam chambers for direct moisturizing. My question is what kind of materials I should use for pipes and fittings. I am thinking about 304L and tri-clamp connections. Is it a good choice? Chris

Hi I need to calculate heat demand for biomass drying. I know its weight and properties. For this purpose I would like to use some kind of outside floor heting. Any ideas? Thanks Chris

Hi Where I can find on the internet information about designing medical gases systems, or maybe anyone could recommend a book? Chris

Hi I have a question. At a production plant I noticed hot water system heated by 6 bar g steam. Downstream of a heatexchanger was a temperature controlling valve and parallel to that valve was installed a steam trap. Could anyone explain me if it makes any sense bypassing controliing valve with...

Hi everyone I need to lift condensate from a steam trap to a higher level (it is only 2 metres to discharge well and then drain to waste). Minimal pressure in steam main is 6 bar gauge. I know that 1 metre litft in pipework = 1 m head static pressure = 0.1 bar backpressure. Am I right that it...
