Table 3
Condensate receiver capacity
(minimum)
Satisfactory operation of any steam heating system depends upon adequate
return of condensate to maintain steady water level. Avoid adding excessive
amount of raw makeup water. Where condensate return is not adequate, a
low water cutoff and pump control, condensate receiver, and condensate
boiler feed pump should be installed. Refer to
Figure 19
for piping and
condensate receiver capacity table for sizing.
