How is the amount of non-condensable gas determined when superheated steam condenses?
Thread Content
Superheated steam at 412°C is condensed using circulating water; over time, non-condensable gases accumulate in the steam. When this accumulation reaches a certain level, it affects the heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, vents for releasing these non-condensable gases are provided on the equipment. But how is the amount of such non-condensable gases determined? For example, how many cubic feet or kilograms of non-condensable gas can be produced by 14 tons/h of steam? Solve! ! !
We are Fred Steam Energy Saving. This is a practical case issue; the amount of non-condensable gas cannot be calculated precisely, nor can any standard be simply applied as a reference. It is influenced by many factors such as boiler water treatment, deoxidation, pipeline sealing conditions, and system operation status. In fact, no calculation is needed; installing an automatic exhaust valve in the appropriate place solves the problem. For more information, follow “Fured Steam Energy Saving”.
That’s absolutely right, thank you! If a trap is installed at the condensate outlet, can it remove some non-condensable gases?
