Since the water used in steam systems is always ideal water and free of any impurities or soluble and undesirable substances, therefore experts design the steam lines in such a way that at the end of the steam transmission lines and after obtaining the full energy In consumer devices, steam is collected as condensate with a steam trap and then returned to the production cycle. Because the return condensate water has pressure, it is necessary, first of all, to enter the pressurized water into a tank called the condensate tank. In this tank, the water entering the tank will pass through an internal pressure relief system and its pressure will be reduced to the minimum possible level. It should be noted that the higher the pressure of the water entering the condensate tank, the higher the percentage of its conversion to steam will increase. . In the condensate tank, part of the pressurized water in the vicinity of the atmosphere turns into steam, and the major part of it is used to re-enter the steam production cycle. it is suggested. The condensate tank vent should be moved to the outside of the engine room.
Basically, the condensate tanks are sunk in a place known as the condensate pit and are installed at a lower level than all the engine room equipment so that the condensate obtained from the steam traps can be collected by gravity.
Designers mainly add line compensation water to the condensate tank so that the water required by the boiler is transferred by the pump from the condensate tank to the di-arritor or boiler. The space required for the condensate pit and condensate pump should be such that the operator can easily do daily work in it. Since the water in the condensate tank has a high temperature, the possibility of cavitation formation in it is very high; It is suggested that this tank be installed a little higher than the condensate transfer pump according to the specifications of the condensate tank pump. In order to determine the capacity of the condensate tank, information such as the amount of condensate returned from the line and the water pressure of the incoming condensate (if any); be notified to this company by the customer.
