STEAM LOCKING OR BINDING
In today’s steam operations, steam locking (also called steam binding) is seldom detected or diagnosed as the root cause of system problems. Instead, problemsBest Practice No. 11 – Steam System Waterhammer Causes and Solutions
1. STEAM AND CONDENSATE WATERHAMMER
Water hammer is never normal in the steam and condensate system and must be always considered extremely abnormal and totally unacceptable in today’s plantSteam Hammering in Pipelines
WATERHAMMER – SOMETHING THAT NEVER SHOULD OCCUR IN A STEAM SYSTEM
1. STEAM AND CONDENSATE WATERHAMMER
Water hammer is never normal in the steam and condensate system and must be always consideredSteam System Insulation
1. DEFINITION OF AND PURPOSE OF INSULATION
Insulation is defined as materials or a combination of materials that retards the transfer of heat energy to achieve one or more of theSteam System Critical Issues
Why the Removal of Noncondensable Gases and Air Is Critical in a Steam System
Air and noncondensable gases are one of the major problems in a steam system that can cause
Steam System High ROI
Steam System Thermal Cycle Efficiency.
First Step in Understanding and Optimizing A Steam System
1. What Is steam system thermal cycle efficiency?
What is steam thermal cycle efficiency, and what affects the efficiency?Calculate Condensate Return Percentage
Steam is comprised of two types of energy; latent and sensible energy. When steam is supplied to a process application (heat exchanger, coil, tracer, etc.); the steam vapor releases the
Steam System Safety
1. Introduction to Safety Valves
One of the most critical safety devices in a steam system is the safety valve. Figure 1 is an illustration of a typical safety valve, andKnowing the Cost of Steam
Knowing the correct cost of steam is important for many reasons, and all of them have to do with improving a company’s bottom line. They include:
To properly evaluate the economics
Steam turbine maintenance and operation
Steam turbine operation and performance require the correct steam pressure at the turbine inlet and high steam quality (steam without condensate entrapment) to ensure high turbine reliability. The following addresses
