Permanent steam coming from the vent of an Ogden pump could indicate a leaking or malfunctioning seal or gasket, leading to steam escaping from the system. It could also be due to high pressure or temperature within the pump causing the steam release. It is important to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage to the pump.
An Ogden pump is a liquid pump powered by either steam or compressed air. Manufactured by Spirax Sarco, it is now an obsolete item, having been replaced by their MFP range. Often used on industrial sites for steam condensate recovery, it essential works on a ball float and valve principal. Condensate enters the receiver vessel where a ball cock type float is fitted. Once full, the ball cock opens the steam supply valve and the steam pressure forces the hot condensate out through the pumps delivery pipe. The ball cock then closes the steam supply valve and the process restarts.
do you have a heat pump? are you running unit in heat? if so and the steam is comming from outside unit, this is normal in the units defrost cycle

Chapin Mine Steam Pump Engine was created in 1891.
It is a matter of preference. But steam is trickier to use.

Steam engines were first used to pump water out of mines.
Heat and steam coming from the dash and air vents after replacing the water pump means that a hose is hooked up backwards in the new installation. The heater is actually taking on water when it is supposed to only take on hot air.
Pump power is based on BHP = Hydraulic horse power + pump mechanical efficiency Absorbed power = BHP + electric motor eficiency in your case you dont need to account for power absorbed by pump shaft as it would include motor efficiency. your steam consumption will be based on following : normal operating = based on BHP of pump Maximum required = turbine rated power

The steam at 250Degc does it work and gets converted to mechanical energy by the turbine and to increase the efiiciency of the turbine the pressure is mentained below atmosphearic pressure at the exhust. It is not cost benificaial to handle (pump) this steam coming out of the exhust thus needs to be cooled to take it to liquide stage by cooling towers.
