Condensed water recovery system and method for monitoring steam loss

A condensate recovery system comprises a plurality of drain lines for draining condensate from an associated steam plant. Each drain line incorporates a steam trap and feeds into a common condensate return line running between the drain lines and a condensate receiver tank. The system further compri...

Zusammenfassung:A condensate recovery system comprises a plurality of drain lines for draining condensate from an associated steam plant. Each drain line incorporates a steam trap and feeds into a common condensate return line running between the drain lines and a condensate receiver tank. The system further comprises an acoustic sensor positioned along the common condensate return line, upstream of the receivertank, for providing an acoustic output indicative of the collective steam loss through steam traps upstream of the sensor.
