October Lunch Meeting - Effective Condensate Drainage from Steam Systems

TOPIC:

Effective Condensate Drainage from Steam Systems

BY: Dennis Kacsur

Topic Description: 

Returning condensate to the Central Utility Plant or Boiler Room is a key component of an efficient steam system. Understanding and overcoming 'Stall' in a steam system ensures that the condensate is drained efficiently and effectively from steam using equipment such as air handling units, domestic hot water heaters and steam-to-water converters. We will also briefly look at the difference between commonly used centrifugal condensate return pumps and steam-driven condensate return pumps.
