Gas binding
Thread Content
To raise the temperature of the condensate, steam is introduced into the condensate tank; will this cause the centrifugal pump used to transfer the condensate to experience air locking? (The condensate tank is at atmospheric pressure, with a temperature of 70–75°C)
I don’t think so; air binding = air blockage, which is caused by the entry of air.
The steam in the tank has all turned into a liquid. And this is easy to test – normal-pressure tanks, temporary pipes can be used for testing; gas binding can also be easily detected, as there is no flow
