How can Steamloc handle pressure and condensate load variations?
The most logical example we find at every start-up condition. The wide condensate range permits Steamloc to handle these maximum loads in a time that is competitive with mechanical systems, even if they have start-up pressure drops (low). Other variations are initiated by the process itself. Steam flow rates and therefore condensate rates can vary depending on required production capacity. This is normal. Such processes usually have control valves at the steam inlet. Higher steam flow to meet the requested higher temperature results in higher pressure in the equipment. Since Steamloc capacity is pressure dependent it can follow these variations very well. In fact Steamloc operates perfectly in conjunction with the control valve. For process applications that work with other types of controls and variations in steam/condensate flow, like batch processes, the wide condensate range of the Steamloc with constant pressure will allow to operate also at these conditions.
