Selection of condensate pump flow rate
Thread Content
With a steam consumption of 5 kilograms and a rate of 25 tons per hour, what flow rate is required for the condensate pump to meet the needs?
Isn’t this corresponding? If you recover all the condensate, it will be around 25 cubic meters
=25*1.1 allows for a certain amount of reservation
Under the normal operating conditions you specified, the normal flow rate of the condensate water is 25 cubic meters. When determining the rated flow rate of the pump, it is necessary to take into account the operating conditions suitable for the selected pump. Generally: 1) For process pumps and utility pumps, the rated flow rate should be set at 110% of the maximum operating flow rate； 2) Recirculation pump and boiler feed water pump: The rated flow rate is taken as 120% of the maximum operating flow rate ； 3) Transfer pump from storage tank to pipeline network (continuous operation): The rated flow rate is set at 115% of the maximum operating flow rate ； Note: The minimum backflow present should also have its flow rate taken into account
