What is the purpose of connecting steam condensate to a reciprocating pump (such as a high-pressure ammonium methoxide pump)? What is its function?
Didn’t the teacher give you a lecture? It’s probably meant to serve as a preheating/ cleaning/ water-adding step.
Brother, you learned from someone else, right? What the person above said is correct
Sea friend who values water put it very well. Please, the original poster, study carefully the issue of crystallization temperature in the *basic theory section. Of course, the fact that the original poster raised this question shows they have learned something. This water has its own name; it is called preheated water. Thus, its functional orientation becomes clear. The purpose of adding water is mainly to prevent crystallization-induced blockages in this pump. There are two other functions as well: 1 is that it may be used during the thermal cooking of the low-pressure methamine condenser (referred to as low-pressure water flow) ； 2: Water can be added when the liquid level at the pump inlet is low (there are two methods: one is to supply water via low pressure, and the other is to add water directly at the pump inlet)
