How to solve water hammer in condensate pipelines
Thread Content
As the title suggests, how can water hammer in the condensate pipeline be addressed? Can a steam trap be installed?
Since water hammer occurs in the condensate pipeline, there must be steam inside the pipes; therefore, an exhaust valve should be installed at a high point to release that steam.
The poster doesn’t know whether this issue has been present in your condensate pipeline all along or only appeared recently; identifying the cause of water hammer in your condensate pipeline is necessary to eliminate it completely
Add a flash tank to the condensate main pipe to separate the steam. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
That condensate pipeline of yours is used to collect the condensate from the steam traps, right? Check whether the steam traps are functioning properly to reduce steam leakage into the condensate pipeline
