Best Answer

The liquid formed by the condensation of a vapor; in steam heating, water is condensed from steam; in air conditioning, water is extracted from air.

How you can convert natural gas condensate to natural gas volume equivalent?

Veq = 133000*(Condensate specific gr/Mol wt of condensate) in SCF/STB Where, Mol wt of condensate = 6084/(API-5.9)


How does condensate return to a boiler?

Condensate is what you get when you condense steam (water) that was heated in a boiler to make the steam. I'm not sure what else you are looking for.


What is the inlet pressure of a condensate tank?

It can be at any pressure less than the main steam pressure. I've operated steam systems with condensate tanks at widely varying pressures. The pressure a condensate tank, (which condenses some steam, but typically takes returns from steam traps) is wholly dependent on the system is installed in. Some heating system condensate tanks are designed to handle no more than 30 psig (minimum design requirement) yet take condensate at 1 or 2 psi from the steam traps. Other high pressure production lines operating at 50 - 100 psig could discharge to a tank at 50 - 100 psi, though the actual pressure would be reduced by the length of pipe transferring it to the tank. And the highest pressure I've operated a condensate system at was 600 psig, the steam system drew the steam for process from an extraction stage on the turbine at nominally 600 psi, though at low loads it was typically a much lower pressure.


What are seal pots?

Seal pots (sometime called condensate pots) are used to allow a liquid seal between the instrument and flowing gases such as steam. Their function is to keep the liquid level constant in the impulse tubes. For example, in boiler liquid level applications the high pressure (HP) side of a differential pressure transmitter is connected to the vapor space on top of the steam drum. Steam condenses in the chamber or seal pot and fills the impulse line with condensate. The seal pot is located to allow the condensate to drain back to the source thus keeping the liquid level constant.


What is crude condensate?

this can be your first fraction of distillation. In general crude means that the half fabricate isn't pure enough and more purification steps are required

What should you do if you have condensation coming into your house through the ducts in the winter from the roof unit?

What exactly is the definition of condensate?

A condensate is a liquid that is formed from the process of condensation. An example of a condensate is the water that forms on the outside of a glass filled with water and ice on a very hot day.
