Why does the loss increase as the pressure in the heating pipeline rises?
Thread Content
Our company supplies saturated steam; the pressure during the day is 0.3–0.45 Mpa, while at night, when the load is lower, the pressure can reach up to 0.8 Mpa. The variation in steam supply pressure at night is quite significant. Why does higher pressure lead to greater losses? What are some solutions?
Apart from leakage, the higher the pressure, the greater the amount of leakage. Mainly, as mentioned on the second floor, the night temperatures are low, resulting in more steam liquefying on the pipe walls due to the low temperatures.
The temperature is around 6 degrees, so there shouldn’t be any problem
