Temperature of steam condensate under pressure
Thread Content
The steam condensate is discharged on-site at a temperature of up to 100°C. If it is not discharged on-site but pushed toward the outer pipe, due to the height difference and frictional resistance, the steam condensate will be under pressure. Assuming it’s 1 kilogram, what is its temperature? Is it the pressure of 1 kilogram of steam? If it isn’t achieved, will it then be above 100°C?
At the same pressure, the temperature of saturated steam and condensed water is the same; this can be found by referring to the steam temperature-pressure chart, which is available for search within this site.
