Calculation of steam condensation water volume?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts here: my company is planning to install a steam condensate recovery system, and it is necessary to calculate the amount of steam condensate that will be generated. The pressure in the main steam pipe feeding the air cooler is 0.7 MPa, with a diameter of DN200; the pressure of the steam at the inlet of the cooler is 0.15 MPa. How can you calculate the amount of steam condensate that will be produced?

Reply to 1# Forgotten Oath: The percentage of flash steam can be calculated using the following formula: %Flash Steam = (SH – SL) / H × 100%. Where SH is the sensible heat in the condensed water at high pressure before discharge, SL is the sensible heat in the condensed water at low pressure after discharge, and H is the latent heat in the steam at low pressure. The amount of condensed water = amount of steam × (1 – %Flash Steam)
