A few weeks ago we discussed the steam pipe size entering a shell and tube heat exchanger, also called a convertor. This week we turn our …
Vacuum Breakers: Steam and Steam Heat Exchanger Basics Part 3
This week we take a look at the vacuum breaker on a steam-to-water heat exchanger. Steam-to-water heat exchangers, or steam heating coils with on-off …
Why Use Low Steam Pressure: Steam Heat Exchanger Basics Part 2
A recent engineering graduate asked a question about reducing steam pressure before using the steam for heating and domestic water heat exchangers: Why do you …
Understanding Steam and Steam Heat Exchangers: Part 1
Steam heating systems are a bit of a mystery for many engineers and contractors. Much of the “old school” knowledge on steam heat exchangers retired …
Steam Inlet Pipe Size of Steam-to-Water Heat Exchangers
Many institutional and industrial projects use steam to heat the water for hydronic heating, domestic water, or processes. The pipe size prior to the steam …
