The function of the U-bend in the steam condensate pipeline
Thread Content
There is a 600mm U-bend in the pipeline that carries the steam condensate from the thermosyphon reboiler to the condensate storage tank. What is its purpose?
Used to isolate from the outside world when parking, to prevent air from being drawn in and reduce corrosion
Another possibility is to use a liquid seal to prevent steam from escaping directly, thus avoiding incomplete utilization
Give a picture; otherwise, who knows what you’re talking about?
It’s unlikely; water hammer effects would be severe. In the initial stage of cold pipes, they are filled with water, and the water level must be at the lowest point
