Condensate recovery allows
you to use all of the valuable Btu within the steam system. Depending on
the pressure, condensate leaving a trap contains approximately 20% of
the heat energy transferred at the boiler in the form of sensible heat.
Condensate recovery systems
help you reduce three tangible costs of producing steam:
- Fuel/energy costs
- Boiler water make-up and sewage treatment
- Boiler water chemical treatment
The workhorses in any
condensate recovery system are condensate pumps. Their job is to move
condensate or other liquids from low points, low pressures or vacuum
spaces to an area of higher elevation or pressure.
Armstrong can provide
complete engineered condensate pumping system solutions, allowing you to
take advantage of this most fundamental of energy management practices.
Single pump capacities range from 350 lb/hr to 73,000 lb/hr (158 kg/hr
to 33112 kg/hr), depending on application conditions. You may also
depend on Armstrong for complete custom pre-piped packages, ASME
packages, mechanical and electric pumps, and accessories.
