May I ask about the state of the steam condensate after passing through the steam trap? How great can the pressure be/. ?
This issue depends on the back pressure in the pipeline downstream of the steam trap; this pressure is certainly lower than that of the steam. If the back pressure is very low, the condensate may flash again.
The condensate pressure depends on the steam pressure, while the condition of the condensate depends on the back pressure; if the back pressure is too low, secondary flashing occurs.
Well, but some check valves do not require back pressure
Generally, secondary steam is produced
Sometimes, high-pressure and low-pressure condensates are fed into the same flash tank, with a low-pressure steam pipeline connected above the flash tank to recover the vapor that results from flashing.
The state should be a supersaturated state of condensate; as for the issue of flashing, it relates to the destination of the condensate and the level of backpressure
