condensate return pipeline

[kszyho100]

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 trap but I am not sure if I can do this in described situation.

What do you think?

Thx, I must overlooked this chapter.

you describe valves as control valves, but they sound like pressure reducing valves. will they always have pressure available at the inlet to the Traps, or do the valves modulate shut?
