Calculation of condensate water
Thread Content
Steam at 150 degrees is turned into water at 90 degrees through a plate heat exchanger; how much condensed water can be produced in one hour?
Reply to 1# hyffxh, OP: Your question doesn’t seem to be fully detailed. What is the amount of steam at 150°C that enters the plate heat exchanger?

Reply to 3# hyffxh: The pipe diameter is known, what about the medium flow velocity?
This post was last edited by dongjiang1001 on 2011-8-12 08:35. Your explanation is not comprehensive enough; the amount of steam that condenses depends on the heat transfer rate. The heat transfer rate divided by the latent heat gives the amount of condensation, and this is a theoretical value. In practice, factors such as heat transfer efficiency and heat loss must also be taken into account. To determine the latent heat, it is necessary to know the pressure of the steam (or the temperature to which the medium needs to be heated), and based on this, the diameter of the steam pipes can be calculated – rather than determining the pipe diameter first and then figuring out the amount of condensation.
Is your level really good enough? Can you do the calculations? He didn’t tell you the diameter and flow rate; you can assume one ton of saturated steam at 150 degrees
Agree with what was said above, haha:victory:
Original poster, you need to tell us the heat exchange capacity of the plate heat exchanger or the capacity of your boiler in tons, so that we can do the calculation.
