3.4 Steam Delta Heat
Measurements:
Measures actual volume flow and pressure of the saturated steam in the supply piping
as well as the temperature of the condensate in the downstream piping of a heat
exchanger.
Calculations:
• Calculates density, mass flow as well as the delta heat between the saturated steam
(supply) and condensation (return) using physical characteristic tables of steam and
water stored in the flow computer.
• With square law device measurement the actual volume is calculated from the
differential pressure, taking into account temperature and pressure compensation.
• The saturated steam temperature in the supply line is calculated from the pressure
measured there.
Input Variables:
Supply: Flow and pressure (saturated steam)
Return: Temperature (condensate)
Output Results:
• Display Results

Temperature, Pressure, Density (optional: peak demand, demand last hour,
time/date stamp)
• Analog Output
Heat, Mass or Volume Flow Rate, Temperature, Pressure, Density, Peak
Demand, Demand Last Hour
• Pulse Output

Applications:
Calculate the saturated steam mass flow and the heat extracted by a heat exchanger
taking into account the thermal energy remaining in the condensate.
