Best Practices for Condensate Removal on Steam Lines | TLV Instead, properly sized, wider piping called a drip leg (collecting leg, or drain pocket) is typically installed to help enable the efficient and effective removal of condensate Sample guidelines for drip leg sizes are available in the table below
Don’t blow your money on a steam trap - csemag. com Drip traps are located as part of the main steam distribution piping as the system radiates heat, loses energy, and creates condensate within the piping system
Drip Legs: Definition, Purpose, Configuration . . . - | What is Piping A carefully designed drip leg enables steam traps to effectively drain the condensate from steam mains For that, the drip legs should be large enough to allow the condensate to drop out of the steam at the pipe bottom
Best Practices Piping Diagrams Steam and Condensate Systems condensate drain points with traps Install condensate drain points with steam traps at the bottom of any vertical lift regardless of the steam flow direction Installation of air vents at end of main location will prevent air being trapped steam header, especially during start-up periods
Steam Traps - Watson McDaniel Thermodynamic steam traps are most commonly used for drip applications They are extremely compact and rugged with only a single moving part Models available with strainer, in-line repairable options and ultra-high pressure Thermostatic traps are used on drip, tracing and process applications
246 Series Low Pressure Manual Drip Trap - Varec Biogas The 246 Series Low Pressure Manual Drip Trap is designed to collect and safely remove condensate from gas piping systems Condensate removal is necessary to protect piping and equipment from possible damage caused by corrosion or water hammer
Small Drip Legs Cause Big Problems - Fluid Controls Institute Always trap each Drip Leg with a separate steam trap Even the slight pressure drop found between two adjacent Drip Legs is enough to short circuit the system Properly insulate piping to minimize the amount of condensate generated in a steam main or distribution line
Drip Legs in Steam Piping - wermac. org Some people think that creating a Drip Leg is simply a matter of connecting piping or equipment to a steam trap of the correct size However, an analysis of the varying conditions in a steam system reveals that the location and sizing of Drip Legs is much more complex than it first appears
Steam trap Drip leg piping arrangement with drawing To collect condensate on steam lines, a drain pocket is welded to the bottom of the pipe to be drained This arrangement is called drip leg It should be wide enough so that the condensate due to velocity does not pass over it and it should be deep enough so that the condensate does not overflow within very short time
