(4) Exhaust Piping [Se]:
•
Unless problems occur, leave the exhaust pipe connected to the condensate
receiver as designed.
•
When steam is not used as the motive medium, steam clouds (flash steam)
may come out from the vent pipe [Sv]. In this case it is possible to disconnect
the exhaust line from the condensate receiver.
If the exhaust line has to discharge to atmosphere, a sound level of
approximately 90 – 100 dB may be emitted from the exhaust pipe discharge
outlet for two to three seconds. If soundproofing measures are necessary,
install a silencer. (If the exhaust line is connected to the condensate receiver,
the sound level will be below 60 dB.)
(5) Condensate Inlet Piping [Si]:
•
Condensate Inlet Pipe [Si] should be as short and straight as possible so that
condensate naturally flows down into the
PowerTrap
.
•
Install a 40-mesh or finer strainer [Ki] on the
PowerTrap
condensate inlet pipe.
The installation should be in a location that allows sufficient space for
maintenance of the strainer.
•
Install a valve [V] and a bypass valve [Vb] on the condensate inlet pipe. This
allows operation of the equipment while carrying out maintenance work if the
PowerTrap
is
malfunctioning or needs maintenance. Use a gate valve for
valve [V] and a globe valve for the bypass valve [Vb].
(6) Condensate Outlet Piping [So], Condensate Recovery Line [Sr]:
•
The flow velocity in the pipe should be considered when determining the pipe
size.
Condensate in the
PowerTrap
is discharged by the motive medium supply
pressure. The instantaneous flow through the condensate outlet pipe during the
discharge operation is between 2 and 40 metric tonnes (530 and 10,600 U.S.
gal) per hour.
The instantaneous discharge amount should be considered when determining
the outlet pipe diameter. For each system package, motive medium supply
pressure and back pressure instantaneous discharge amount, contact
. If
you have the "
PowerTrap
Design & Data Sheet", installed piping should be the
size recommended by TLV.
