Is there a relationship between steam pressure and steam consumption?
Thread Content
In our company, liquid chlorine is vaporized using steam, with the steam pressure maintained between 4.5 and 5 MPa. If the steam pressure is reduced, could this help save steam? Is there any evidence to support this?
Generally, high-pressure steam offers better energy-saving effects.
Personally, I think that after reducing the pressure, your data usage will increase, failing to achieve the goal of saving data. Because the heat capacity varies with steam pressure, the amount of heat absorbed by evaporating an equal amount of liquid chlorine is the same. So your stress decreases, but the usage increases. However, I can suggest that you install a better desuperheater, so that the steam undergoes complete phase change inside it and all the heat carried by it is released, which will help save energy.
