The issue of condensate water temperature
Thread Content
After the device exchanges heat with cold medium using 3.5MPA steam, the resulting condensate flows into a condensate separation tank. The outlet at the top of this tank produces steam at 1.0MPA, while the condensate at the bottom enters the next processing stage under its own pressure. What is the condensate temperature at approximately 1.0 MPA? If condensate enters a pipe with a lower pressure than its own, does the temperature of the condensate decrease at that time? Thank you
At 1.0 MPa, the temperature of condensed water (i.e., saturated water) is approximately 179.9°C. If condensate enters a pipe at a lower pressure than its own, partial vaporization occurs, and the temperature may drop to the saturation temperature of water at the new pressure due to the absorption of latent heat. .
Around 180°C, and the temperature drops as pressure decreases
