Insulated Steam Pipes - Condensate Generated (kg/h per 100m)

Heat loss from steam pipes generates condensate which must be drained from the system.

1 inch = 25.4 mm

The table is based on a surrounding temperature of 20^oC and 80% insulation efficiency compared with uninsulated pipes.

At a surrounding temperature -20^oC approximately 50% condensate load should be added.
