These type of questions with such little detail are susceptible to greatest impossible answer.
 
Worst case - 6 weeks
Best case - 6 centuries

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
25 to 50 years would be relatively common design scenarios.

I would guess that "condensate return" carbon steel piping systems would be classified under "HVAC Systems".... high rate of corrosion 3-8 year design life.

Would a "raw water" system also be part of an HVAC system / Again, high rates of corrosion
