How to calculate the amount of condensate produced per hour by steam equipment or pipes
Steam releases heat and turns into a liquid state. Once you understand what kind of steam it is, how much heat it releases, the conditions under which it turns into a liquid state, and the amount of liquid water produced, you can calculate it!
First, you need to know how much steam the equipment consumes
For equipment, the key factor is steam consumption; for pipes, the main influencing factors are insulation and pipe resistance
If the equipment has a separate flow meter, isn’t the consumption the amount of water? ? ? If there is no separate flow meter, by knowing the amount of steam in kilograms, its enthalpy value, the amount of heat absorbed per hour by the material undergoing heat exchange, as well as the pressure and temperature of the condensate, it should be possible to calculate the hourly consumption.
