The steam coil outlet pressure is increasing
Thread Content
In our company’s tank, the steam coil inlet is 20 centimeters higher than the outlet; however, after the outlet valve, it is again 20 centimeters higher and parallel to the inlet. The drain valve is located behind the pipe that is at that higher level. Excuse me, experts – is there a possibility of water hammer in this situation? Do I need to change it? This was designed by the design institute
Thank you; after it was disabled, water couldn’t flow out, and I’m worried that the same problem will occur if I use it again
A backflow design is implemented at the lower level; drain it before putting it into use
There are problems; it is prone to causing water hammer due to vapor locks. When installing a steam trap, it is essential to ensure smooth flow in the condensate pipeline ahead of the trap.
Incorrect installation of the steam trap is a significant factor that affects its proper operation; don’t underestimate it!
