Good afternoon,
I have the following problem:
The steam heat exchangers i work with, are controlled by regulating the condensate flow.
When the tubes get dirty or the exchanger reaches its maximum capacity, steam flows through the exchanger, doesnt condensate, and therefore messes with the flowmeter located after the exchanger.
There is no barrier that preventes steam passage through the condensate line.
I read about condensating pots with level control, but it seems cheaper to install a level control in the heat exchanger with a control logic.
A level control is enough to prevent steam passage?
When is a condensating pot mandatory?
Thank you.
