Chap11 - Steam System Part 1

This document discusses the design of steam piping systems. It covers topics such as steam properties, common steam applications, piping components, sizing of steam pipes, and condensate return lines. Steam is widely used as a heat transmission fluid due to its high latent heat. Proper pipe sizing is important to control steam velocity and pressure drops in the system. Common methods for sizing pipes include using velocity-based or pressure drop-based calculations and charts.

1. INTRODUCTION TO STEAM

 Steam is widely used as heat transmission fluid


(via its latent heat).
 Heat from steam is cheaper than heat from electricity.
(about half price for heavy oil fuel)

PIPE MATERIAL

 SCHEDULE 40 STEEL PIPES RANGE FROM 15mm TO 600mm ARE


SUFFICIENT FOR MOST STEAM PIPES.

 LARGE PIPES OR PIPES IN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY


BE SCH80.

 MATERIAL’S STRENGTH DECREASE WITH INCREASING TEMPERATURE.

 FOLLOW ASME B31.1 SERIES FOR POWER PIPING.

PIPE SIZING BASED ON VELOCITY


 NORMAL VELOCITY 25 - 40 m/s
 LOWER VELOCITY FOR LONG PIPE
PIPE SIZING BASED ON PRESSURE DROP
