Heating water with steam (Heat exchanger )

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (GPM x 500.4 x

T) / L

Heating Fuel oil with steam (Heat exchanger )

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (GPM x 500.4 x

Heating liquid in Steam jacket kettlea and Steam heated tanks

with covers and static internal

Conditions ( )

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (G x s.g. x Cp x

T x 8.34) / (L x t)

Heating Air with steam : pipe coils and radiation

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (A x U x T) / L

Heating Solids in Sterilizers , Autoclaves and retorts

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (W x Cp x T) /

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (N x Lot x R) / P

Low pressure single steam absorption chiller (12 psig operation

is normal )

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = Chiller tonnage x 20

High pressure two steam absorption chiller (100 psig + operation

)

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = Chiller tonnage x 10

Flash tank trap load

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (Incoming

Condensate flow (lb/hr)) - (Condensate flow (lb/hr) x ((sensible

heat of high pressure - sensible heat of low pressure) / Latent heat

of low pressure)

Steam separator drainage

Condensate Load ( lb/hr) = (Mass flow though

separator x 10)
