    Part 3. Piping Design - Chapter 4. Steam Piping: Example 5 Illustrates The Three Concepts Mentioned

    Uploaded by

    Karthikeyan Sankarrajan
    This document discusses the design of steam piping systems. It covers calculating the warm-up load, radiation load, and total condensate load on a steam trap. The warm-up load is based on pipe length, temperature difference, and time. The radiation load depends on pipe length, temperature difference, and insulation properties. The total load is the sum of the warm-up and half the radiation loads. Trap selection requires considering this total load along with pressure differential and a safety factor, usually 2-8 times the load, to ensure adequate condensate removal. An example calculates loads and selects a trap with a 3 times safety factor for a steam main.

    Steam Piping

    The radiation load builds up as the warm – up load Given:


    drops off under normal operating conditions. The peak Steam main – 10 in. diam steel pipe, 50 ft long
    occurs at the mid – point of the warm – up cycle. Steam pressure – 5 psig ( 227 F )
    Therefore, one – half of the radiation load Is added to Room temperature – 70 F db ( steam main in space )
    warm – up load to determine the amount of condensate Warm – up time – 15 minutes

    The pressure differential across the trap is determined 1. Warm – up load.

    Safety Factor Solution:
    Good design practice dictates the use of safety 1. The warm – up load is determined from the following
    factors in steam trap selection. Safety factors from 2 to 1 to equation:
    as high as 8 to 1 may be required, and for the following
    reasons: C1 = W x (tfh–l xti)Tx .114
    1. The steam pressure at the trap inlet or the back
    pressure at the trap discharge the steam trap Where: W = 40.48 lb / ft x 50 ft ( Table 2 )
    capacity. tf = 227 F
    2. If the trap is sized for normal operating load, ti = 70 F
    condensate may back up into the steam lines or hl = 960 Btu/ lb ( from steam tables)
    apparatus during start – up or warm – up T = .25 hr
    operation. C1 = 2024 x ( 227 – 70 ) x .114
    3. It the steam trap is selected to discharge a full 960 x .25
    and continuous steam of water, the air could not = 150 lb / hr of condensate
    vented from the steam. 2. The radiation load is calculated by using the following
    equation: L x K x (tf – ti)
    C2 =
    The following guide is used to determine the safety hl
    factor: Where: L = 50 ft
    K = 6.41 Btu / (hr) (linear foot)
    ( deg F diff between pipe and air)
    from Table 54 , Part I
    tf = 227 F
    ti = 70 F
    hI = 960 Btu / lb ( from steam tables)
    C2 = 50 x 6.41 x (227 – 70)
    960
    = 52 lb / hr of condensate
    When the steam trap is to be used in a high pressure 3. The total condensate load for steam trap selection is

    night time or weekends. If this condition is likely to occur, Total condensate load = C1 + ( 1/2 x C2)
    then an additional safety factor should be considered to = 150+(1/2 x 52)
    account for the lower pressure drop available during night = 176 lb / hr
    time operation. 4. Steam trap selection is dependent on three factors:
