Sizing

Cemline CBO boiler blow off condensate coolers are normally sized based
upon the size of the blow off line from the boiler to the blow off tank. Below is
the flow rate of blow off and total flow rate to achieve a 140° water tempera-
ture to the sewer.

The above information is based upon flashing blowdown to 212°

(100°C) cooling water is assumed at 50°F.

To calculate amount of cooling water flow, subtract blowdown GPM

from total GPM. Where two sizes are shown, select smaller size for
boiler operating at 150 PSI or less, larger sizes for boiler operating at
151 PSI or more.

Construction of CBO Series
Specifications
Cemline Blowdown / Condensate Coolers are designed to receive blowdown
from a steam boiler, flash the blowdown to steam, and cool the condensate
going to drain.

Cemline Blowdown/ Condensate Coolers are A.S.M.E. code constructed and

stamped for 150 PSI working pressure. Minimum steel thickness is 3/16". Where
conditions require these vessels can be constructed with 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2" steel
thickness.

The blowdown enters the tangential inlet where it meets a 90 degree stainless
steel wear plate. The wear plate will prevent erosion of the side wall of the ves-
sel. The tangential blowdown entry causes the blowdown to swirl around the
circumference of the vessel where part of the liquid will flash to steam and the
balance will settle to the bottom of the vessel.

The internal flash will go through the vent to atmosphere and the hot conden-
sate and sludge will fall to the bottom of the vessel where it will activate the
thermal control valve which will feed cold water into the drain leg where the
cold water and hot condensate will mix. This results in drained liquid tempera-
ture which is acceptable for municipal sewage.

The blowdown vessel can be provided without the condensate cooling leg.

Specification
Centrifugal boiler blow off tank shall be model as manufactured by
Cemline Corporation. Tank shall be A.S.M.E. Code constructed and stamped
for 150 psi working pressure and shall be registered with The National Board of
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. Vessel shall be furnished with a tangen-
tial inlet and a 90 degree 1/8" minimum thickness type 316 stainless steel wear
plate. Vessel shall have vent opening and inspection openings as required by
the A.S.M.E. Code. Tank shall have a blacksteel interior with a red oxide prime
exterior. Vessel shall be mounted on angle legs and shall be factory supplied
with an integral adjustable water cooling control valve, check valve, and thermom-
eter built into a factory fabricated drain leg which shall cool the condensate.
