Why Steam is the Most Widely Used Heat-Carrying Medium in the World Air, water and steam are the most commonly used ways to distribute heat to process loads. However, steam offers several advantages hot air and hot water don’t have: The heat carrying capacity of steam is much greater than air or water Steam provides […]
(This article provide courtesy of DFT) In order to efficiently and reliably withstand wear, pressure, and damage, critical system components such as check valves must have excellent durability. Unfortunately, quality and durability are often sidelined or overlooked in favor of low upfront costs. While the desire to keep costs low is understandable — everyone has […]
Absorption chillers use heat, instead of mechanical energy, to provide cooling. The mechanical vapor compressor is replaced by a thermal compressor (see figure) that consists of an absorber, a generator, a pump, and a throttling device. The refrigerant vapor from the evaporator is absorbed by a solution mixture in the absorber. This solution is then […]
(This article courtesy of Webster Combustion) Obviously, the topic of fuel savings in commercial boilers is not a new one. However, there are some sharp differences in the way “savings” are presented to potential end users when this topic is discussed or used as a selling point. There are those who talk only about fuel […]
QMax’s latest video illustrates how radiation heat transfer works and how it applies to steam tracing. If you have questionson radiant heat or steam tracing, contact the team at Campbell-Sevey.
It isn’t very often that we, at Campbell-Sevey, add a new product line. For us, it has to be products that offer significant benefits to our customers, backed by a company with a proven track record of service. That’s why we are excited to announce the addition of Webster Combustion to our line of superior […]
The quantity of flash steam available depends upon ________? Condensate temperature/pressure and flash steam pressure Pressure of steam generated in the boiler Steam enthalpy at atmospheric pressure Total heat of flash steam And the answer is… 1.Condensate temperature/pressure and flash steam pressure ‘Flash steam’ is released from hot condensate when […]
Circuiting of fluid coils is important to the performance and life of the coil, yet for even seasoned professionals it can be confusing. However, it really isn’t as difficult as it seems. What is circuiting? In the simplest terms, circuiting means the number of tubes on any coil being fed by each header. Every coil […]
Over the years, we’ve encountered a lot of “unique” piping configurations, however in a recent plant audit we found one that even surprised us. The image below is a perfect example of how to INCORRECTLY pipe the condensate side of a steam coil. Here is a list of the problems regarding how the piping for […]
The following article was recently published by Jim Lines and appeared in the June 2017 issue of World Fertilizer magazine. Ejector systems are critical to the final concentration of a urea solution. Regardless of the end product, whether produced by granulation or prilling, ejector systems establish evaporator pressures that permit the removal of water to […]
