A condensate pump is a specific type of pump used to pump the condensate produced in an HVAC (heating or cooling), refrigeration, condensing boiler furnace, or steam system. [ 1 ] Applications
Feedwater pumps range in size up to many kilowatts and the electric motor is usually separated from the pump body by some form of mechanical coupling. Large industrial condensate pumps may also serve as the feedwater pump. In either case, to force the water into the boiler, the pump must generate sufficient pressure to overcome the steam ...
Condensing boilers are water heaters typically used for heating systems that are fueled by gas or oil. When operated in the correct circumstances, a heating system can achieve high efficiency (greater than 90% on the higher heating value) by condensing water vapour found in the exhaust gases in a heat exchanger to preheat the circulating water.
At the bottom of the shell, where the condensate collects, an outlet is installed. In some designs, a sump (often referred to as the hotwell) is provided. Condensate is pumped from the outlet or the hotwell for reuse as boiler feedwater. For most water-cooled surface condensers, the shell is under [partial] vacuum during normal operating ...
If an NPSH A is say 10 bar then the pump you are using will deliver exactly 10 bar more over the entire operational curve of a pump than its listed operational curve. Example: A pump with a max. pressure head of 8 bar (80 metres) will actually run at 18 bar if the NPSH A is 10 bar. i.e.: 8 bar (pump curve) plus 10 bar NPSH A = 18 bar.
A condensate polisher is a device used to filter water condensed from steam as part of the steam cycle, for example in a conventional or nuclear power plant (powdered resin or deep bed system). It is frequently filled with tiny polymer resin beads which are used to remove or exchange ions so that the purity of the condensate is maintained at or ...
Condensate may refer to: The liquid phase produced by the condensation of steam or any other gas; The product of a chemical condensation reaction, other than water;
