Can steam condensate be used for making up water in the drum?
Thread Content
Steam condensate is used for making up water in the drum. It has now been found that there are leaks in the pipes surrounding the drum; could this be due to high dissolved oxygen levels in the condensate or some other issue? Seeking help from experts
It is possible to first exchange heat between the condensate return water and the boiler’s deionized water, thereby recovering some of the heat and reducing its temperature below the saturation point; after that, it can enter the deaerator and, together with fresh water, go into the boiler drum.
Yes, it is necessary to remove oxygen using an deaerator
No, it needs to be processed before it can be used.
