Back Pressure and Steam Trap Capacity - Back pressure in a condensate systems will reduce the steam trap capacity
Condensate Generation in Cold Steam Pipes, Sizing Traps - Imperial Units - When cold steam pipes are heated up they generate huge amounts of condensate that must be drained away from the pipe through the steam traps
Condensate Load Generated in Insulated Steam Pipes (kg/h per 100m) - The heat loss from steam pipes generates condensate which must be drained from the system - A table indicating the amount of condensate generated in insulated steam pipes
Insulated Steam Pipes - Condensate Load Generated - The heat loss from steam pipes will generate condensate which must be drained from the system - a table indicating the condensate generated in insulated steam pipes (lb/h per 100 ft)
Sizing Condensate Pipes - SI Units - A table for sizing condensate return lines in steam distribution systems
