Determination of design temperature and design pressure for steam buffer tanks
Thread Content
The operating pressure of the steam buffer tank is 1.0 MPa. How are the design pressure and design temperature generally determined? Must the design pressure and design temperature correspond to the temperature and pressure relationship of saturated steam?
The design pressure is generally taken as 1.05 to 1.1 times the operating pressure; for high-pressure equipment, it is 1.05 times, while for low-pressure equipment, it is 1.1 times. Regardless of the steam temperature, steam is classified into saturated steam, super-saturated steam, and superheated steam; the temperature serves only as a reference.
