How does condensate return to a boiler?
Condensate is what you get when you condense steam (water) that was heated in a boiler to make the steam. I'm not sure what else you are looking for.
What are seal pots?
Seal pots (sometime called condensate pots) are used to allow a liquid seal between the instrument and flowing gases such as steam. Their function is to keep the liquid level constant in the impulse tubes. For example, in boiler liquid level applications the high pressure (HP) side of a differential pressure transmitter is connected to the vapor space on top of the steam drum. Steam condenses in the chamber or seal pot and fills the impulse line with condensate. The seal pot is located to allow the condensate to drain back to the source thus keeping the liquid level constant.
What is the inlet pressure of a condensate tank?
It can be at any pressure less than the main steam pressure. I've operated steam systems with condensate tanks at widely varying pressures. The pressure a condensate tank, (which condenses some steam, but typically takes returns from steam traps) is wholly dependent on the system is installed in. Some heating system condensate tanks are designed to handle no more than 30 psig (minimum design requirement) yet take condensate at 1 or 2 psi from the steam traps. Other high pressure production lines operating at 50 - 100 psig could discharge to a tank at 50 - 100 psi, though the actual pressure would be reduced by the length of pipe transferring it to the tank. And the highest pressure I've operated a condensate system at was 600 psig, the steam system drew the steam for process from an extraction stage on the turbine at nominally 600 psi, though at low loads it was typically a much lower pressure.
What is condensate?
The liquid formed by the condensation of a vapor; in steam heating, water is condensed from steam; in air conditioning, water is extracted from air.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below.
Why you use boiler in oil refinery?
Use of water in a refinery is makeup for boiler feed. The chief uses of steam are for stripping, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. The steam comes in contact with the products in these operations, and generally the steam condensate is so highly contaminated that it cannot be reused for boiler feed or for other purposes. Steam is also used for process heating, for pumping, and, in some refineries, for generating electric power
How do you calculate conversion of steam to condensate?
To calculate the conversion of steam to condensate, you can use the formula: Steam Converted to Condensate = Steam Inlet - Steam Outlet This formula subtracts the amount of steam leaving the system (Steam Outlet) from the amount of steam entering the system (Steam Inlet) to determine the amount of steam that has been converted to condensate.
Does a steam trap remove condensate?
water receives heat to become vapour thus carrying energy . water is mainly used because it is plentiful and has very high latent heat of vapourisation which absorbs a hell lot of heat during evaporation. here heat energy is converted into pressure energy during heating formation of steam and then expanded in turbines or let out to get kinetic energy as the output.
Why condensate pot is used?
whenever steam is utilised as heating media, steam condensate is produced.This steam condensatecan be utilsed for steam generation at some other location and needs to be pumped, for pumping you need some intermediate storage of this condensate. For storing it we use condensate pot whose level can be controlled.
How does an inverted steam trap work?
An inverted steam trap works by allowing condensate to flow out of the system while preventing steam from escaping. When condensate builds up, the trap closes and prevents steam from passing through until the condensate is released. This helps maintain efficient operation by removing unwanted condensate and maintaining steam within the system.

What is the specific gravity of steam condensate?
The specific gravity of steam condensate is typically very close to 1.00, which means it is very close to the density of pure water at the same temperature. This is because steam condensate is essentially just water that has cooled and condensed from its gaseous form.
What is a steam trap?
A device that will allow cooler condensate to pass and hold back the higher temperature steam
How do you convert pounds of steam to gallons of condensate?
One pound of steam condenses back to one pound of liquid water. Since one gallon of water weighs 8.337 pounds, simply divide the weight of the condensate by 8.337 to find out how many gallons of condensate you have.
How do you calculate 25 bar steam condenstate pressure?
If the steam pressure is 25 bars the condensate pressure is at most 25 bars. Typically it is slightly less due to friction of the fluid passing through the steam traps. As the condensate approaches the condensate tank, where it is normally vented to atmosphere, the pressure decreases in the system to near atmospheric.

Seal pots (sometime called condensate pots) are used to allow a liquid seal between the instrument and flowing gases such as steam.
