How much condensed water can 1 ton of steam actually produce?

How much condensate can 1 ton of 1.0MPa steam actually produce? How much condensate can 1 ton of 0.6MPa steam actually produce?
I originally thought that one unit of steam (regardless of the pressure level) produced 1 ton of condensed water; it seems from what the original poster said that my understanding was incorrect
Your understanding is correct; the original poster is just weird
What does it have to do with stress? Mass conservation, right?
Steam releases its sensible heat through the heat exchanger to produce saturated water, but the amount of steam in the entire steam system remains constant at 1 ton, and the amount of water produced by the release of all that sensible heat is also fixed at 1 ton. Under normal circumstances, the steam consumption of a single heat exchanger is used to calculate the drainage volume; when selecting steam traps, the total steam consumption of all heat exchangers should equal the drainage volume of all these steam traps. Pipeline heat losses are calculated separately, and pressure is merely a factor that determines the current steam temperature.
This is also why steam is measured in terms of tons of gas volume; whether it’s natural gas or other gases, it is generally calculated in m3.
Due to conservation of mass, 1 ton of condensed water is produced in the end
Conservation of mass dictates that 1 ton of condensed water should be produced
It depends on your heat utilization process and steam recovery process. If heat is applied indirectly, that is, through heat exchangers alone, with the steam cycle fully recovering the condensate water, 1 ton of steam can produce 1 ton of condensate water.
It seems the author is asking about the flow rate under different pressure conditions: how many tons of steam are there per hour for 1 cubic meter. .
