The size of the leak, the amount of pressure in the system, and the type of fluid leaking out (or in) affects costs. The main goal is to minimize the cost of leakage. Here's how to shrink that number.
Flash Steam: Are You Venting (Flash) Steam to Atmosphere?
Why does flash occur? For any given saturated steam or condensate pressure, there can be only the specific values listed in the steam tables for temperature, sensible heat, latent heat, and specific volume...
Flash Steam Recovery on Modulating Steam Systems
The modulating steam system’s operational design requires recovery condensate by a gravity (0 psig) condensate system. A typical system will incorporate a condensate receiver that allows flash steam to vent...
Flash Steam Recovery on Non-Modulating Steam Applications
The non-modulating steam system’s operational design allows the condensate and flash steam to be recovered in a flash tank system. Compare this type of system with a modulating steam system...
