Dear experts, there is superheated steam available at a pressure of 0.2 Mpa and a temperature of 230 degrees, as well as two streams of steam at a pressure of 0.3 Mpa and a temperature of 152 degrees. Is it possible to combine these streams for use?
Does mixing steam at different temperatures not cause liquid slugging?
Yes, by using a steam jet heat pump, the steam with high pressure is sent through the nozzle for testing, while the steam with low pressure is sent through the inlet; this way, a stream of steam with a pressure between the two is created! Determine the value of the intermediate pressure based on the flow rates of the two!
Sure. After convergence, the pressure is set to a low value of 0.2 MPa. The temperature is determined based on the weights of the flow rates of the two steam streams; if the flow rates are equal, the temperature of the mixture will be 189°C. No liquid will be produced.
Generally, it is possible; it depends on the pressure and temperature used by your steam users. Pay attention to the pressure balance of the three pipelines to ensure safe operation.
Okay, thank you all. Wish you all the best. Thank you
It’s all superheated steam; how can liquid condensate be formed?
