Steam air ejector / vacuum 1

[toad1111]

What would be considered the normal range of flow of non-condensibles to come out of an air ejector for a 18MW steam driven unit?
Does any manufacturer make an air leakage gauge that could go on the vent to trend the leak rates?

HEI has standards for air inleakage based on steam flow to the condenser, number of openings, etc. Try to get a copy of their material.

Rheovac makes a nifty unit that will trend lots of information about everything that is in the vapor stream being pulled by the vacuum equipment. Google them. They are in or near Columbus Ohio. I am out of the country so I can't put my hand on information about them right now.
