Can the steam traps at the multiple heat tracing outlets of the tower be combined?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, I would like to ask the experts here: For the heating of tower vessels, there are multiple heating circuits (the design office specifies that an inlet and an outlet should be provided every 1.4 meters). Can the condensate from these various heating outlet circuits share one drain valve? Is it still necessary to use a separate steam trap for each drop of condensate? Please give me some suggestions, thank you! ~
Merging is not recommended, as the heat distribution across each stream is uneven, and mixing before the valve can easily lead to liquid slugging.
