Condensate source

It is a tank that is placed in the steam engine room to collect and store the return water obtained from the steam distillation in the heat exchange equipment.
Condensate source can also be assumed as a source of steam boiler storage during a possible water cut.
The compensating water of the system is also supplied through this tank and the mixing of compensating water with condensate in this source prevents thermal shocks to the deaerator. In gravity systems, condensate sources are always installed at a lower level than the steam boiler. At the outlet of the condensate source, a pump or pumps are placed to transfer water from the source to the deaerator. In systems that do not have a deaerator, condensate source pumps can also play the role of feeding pumps, provided that they have the necessary quality in terms of pressure, temperature and drainage.
Some authorities consider the capacity of the condensate source equal to the production capacity of one hour of steam.
Sufficient free space should be considered above the water working surface of the condensate source to neutralize possible turbulence caused by condensate return. Condensate tank must be fully welded and suitable and strengthening supports should be used in the connection parts of the side and top plates. The failure of the weld in these areas causes the sheet to buckle and the growth of failure in other parts.
In steam systems where 80% or more are fed through compensation water and the return condensate share is less than 20%, the installation of the condensate source is usually omitted and only the deaerator is used.
The condensate collected in the condensate source must be transported to the deaerator by the pump. The flow rate of this pump is determined based on the capacity of the deaerator.
