This week, we're diving into the intricacies of high and low pressure condensate. Learn why it's crucial to keep them separated and their specific roles in steam systems. Safety notice: Always consult ...

Steam is a marvelous way to transport large amounts of energy effectively and economically. That is why Steam has been the cornerstone of campus, district heating, and process systems for the past two ...

Famous mathematician Edward Lorenz coined the phrase “The Butterfly Effect,” which is the belief that some small occurrence could create devastating results in another location far away. It theorizes ...

Liquid analysis is one of the most important measurements in any type of power plant (fossil fuel or nuclear). Generating electricity is a fundamentally inefficient process. The efficiency of current ...

One of the easiest ways for a business to reduce operating expenses is to increase boiler efficiency. A great place for a business to start lowering their bills is to look at recently performed boiler ...

Steam distribution from the boiler to the points of end use should occur with minimal loss of energy. However, the total amount of steam distributed (figure 1) never matches the amount of steam coming ...

Notwithstanding the effects of erosion due to wet steam acceleration through bends in the pipework, clean high-quality steam is not normally chemically corrosive in its gaseous state. But when steam ...

As previously reported in Power Engineering and other sources (but where regular reminders are extremely important), the phenomenon of flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) has for years been a serious ...
