CONDENSATE RETURN/FEEDWATER SYSTEMS
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL MODELS
Purpose
Whenever possible, the water from used steam, known as condensate,
should be returned to the boiler. This condensed water is not
only free from corroding minerals, chemicals and oxygen, but
also carries a substantial percentage of the heat necessary to
convert it back into steam. Therefore, every pound of hot condensate
returned to the boiler saves fuel, prolongs the life of the boiler
and reduces stress from cold water make-up.
