M1369 - Steam System Management - .2 CEU
Course Syllibus
Steam systems are conceptually simple. Water is fed into a boiler where it is heated to the boiling point for the boiler design pressure. Piping transports the steam from the boiler to many locations where it is used to perform a heating or drying function. The heating takes place in some type of heat exchange device. Its purpose is to transfer the latent heat from the steam to the lower temperature product. In the act of giving up its latent heat, the steam condenses, creating a void which pulls more steam from the boiler into the heat exchanger. This creates the steam flow in the system.
The temperature dynamics and operating environments encountered in steam systems, however, require management of the raw materials and by-products in order to maintain high energy efficiency. Steam system management has two basic areas of concern:
- The generation and effects of condensate
- The sources and effects of non-condensible gases
