How to calculate steam consumption
Thread Content
It’s a 200-mm pipeline spanning 150 meters from the boiler to the workshop; the output pressure is 0.3–0.4 kilograms, the evaporator pressure is 0.2 under vacuum, and the evaporation temperature is around 65–75 degrees. What is the hourly consumption? Is there any way to calculate it? If anyone knows, could they please tell me?
With a flow meter, there’s no need to calculate.
To do this, it is necessary to know your material handling volume and the evaporation enthalpy in order to calculate the theoretical heat amount. The theoretical heat amount is divided by the latent heat of steam to obtain the theoretical amount of steam, and this value is then divided by the heat transfer coefficient to get the actual amount of steam
