Condensate when discharged from higher pressure to lower pressure, the difference in the sensible heats at the two pressures causes certain amount of Condensate to again convert to Steam known and referred to as Flash Steam. This is as good as dry steam, albeit at lower pressure,more...
Condensate pipe carries approximately 90% (by volume) of flash steam, and 10% of condensate. This bi-phase condition occurs immediate downstream of the trap or discharge orifice. To recover the flash steam, the bi-phase fluid has to be separated into condensate and flash steam. Amore...
The steam is used in the process plants at various pressures depending upon the temperature requirements. The condensate from the high pressure steam when comes to low pressure, some part of the condensate get evaporated which is called as flash steam. Recovering the maximum possmore...
Formation of flash steam Flash steam is produced when high pressure condensate is discharged to a lower pressure. The word ‘flash’ describes the way it is formed. At atmospheric pressure, water boils at 100 Deg. C. Inside steam piping or any pressurized vessel, steam is genermore...
