Steam Boiler Condensate Return Tank

A means to collect condensate and handle blowdown water are necessary processes for nearly all steam systems.

Steam boiler condensate return tank.

Feed tank piping condensate return. A steam boiler is just one part of a well designed steam system. Collect and return hot steam condensate to the boiler or boiler feed unit in low pressure steam heating systems. Surge tank 300 3 000 gallons collects condensate for reuse which reduces fuel costs.

Figure 14 1 4 shows a simple steam and condensate circuit with condensate returning to the boiler feedtank. As the steam passes around the system to the various items of steam using plant it changes state back to condensate which is essentially very good quality hot water. Engineered to go with cleaver brooks packaged boilers. Sterlco condensate return units set new standards of performance.

As steam is generated the water within the boiler evaporates and is replaced by pumping feedwater into the boiler. Standard return tanks the return system is standardly recommended with high pressure steam boilers to supply water with a boiler feed pump that operates on demand from the boiler water level control.

A float switch turns pumps on and off automatically. Engineered to resist cavitation insuring extended pump life and stable operation. Pumps are top mounted on tank to keep all mechanical seals above the water line. With a thicker tank wall design and highly wear resistant pump seals our systems run longer and require less maintenance.

In a vented condensate recovery system steam trap inlet pressure or a condensate pump is used to return condensate to an open to atmosphere collection tank for use as boiler make up water pre heat or other hot water applications. So the condensate pump had a second life continuing in service to return condensate not to vassar s steam system but locally to the in home steam boiler by piping returning condensate up across the basement and down to the new steam boiler. Reliable and efficient each unit features heavy duty receivers for long operating life. The tank provides storage for water make up and return condensate from the system when available with the advantage of preheated water.

Standard compact and custom systems are available with numerous options. An effective condensate recovery system collecting the hot condensate from the steam using equipment and returning it to the boiler feed system can pay for itself in a remarkably short period of time.
