Flash Steam Calculator: Saturated condensateand Sub-Cooled Condensate


Print
From Spirax Sarco, Inc.
Find the amount of flash steam formed from condensate in downstream pipework due to the pressure drop across a throttling device like a steam trap. The calculator can also be used to size a flash vessel based on the same parameters.
