Reboiler low-pressure steam condensate water
Thread Content
Dear experts, there is an on-site temperature gauge on the low-pressure condensate pipeline of the reboiler in the plant. What does a change in the reading of this temperature gauge indicate?
Compare the PG at the reboiler inlet with the TG at the condenser outlet – look at these two readings together. If TG is lower than the saturation temperature corresponding to PG, it indicates that there is liquid accumulation inside the reboiler (condensate has backfilled), reducing the condensation area. It doesn’t cost much and is very practical.
