Calculating Flash Steam for Secondary Use
Formula = ((SH1 - SH2)/LH2) X 100 = % Flash Steam
SH1 = Temperature of High Pressure Steam from Steam Tables
SH2 = Temperature of Steam at Flash Pressure from Steam Tables

Piping Insulation Losses Data Compiled by David Farthing

PIPING INSULATION LOSSES


NOTE-1: Emistivity based on Steel Pipe between 130 and 530 Deg 'C' = .78
See Mark's Engineering Handbook 9th Edition McGraw-Hill
Emistivity Loss Calculates as (((T1+460)-(T2+460))/.78)/ Ins. Eff% X Surface Area
NOTE-2 This Calculator returns a relatively LOW result in order to not over state the loss in the pipe work.
One should always contact a Professional Engineer expert in Thermodynamics when considering insulated piping losses.

Hot Water Boiler Expansion Tank Sizing Non-Bladder Air Charged Steel Tank
International Mechanical Code 1009.2 and ASME
All Calculations based on 14.73 PSIA Sea Level 40 degree make-up water.
Vt=((0.00041T-0.0466) X Vs) / (Pa/Pf)-(Pa/Po)
Vt= Minimum volume of expansion tank, gallons
Vs= Volume of water in system less expansion tank, gallons
T= Maximum Average Operating Temperature of system, degrees 'F'
Pa= Atmospheric pressure fixed at 14.73 in this calculation.
Pf= Filling pressure (psig).
Po= Maximum operating pressure (psig).
NOTE Calculations correct Pa,Pf, and Po to Feet Absolute for you.
System Temperatures between 160 to 280 degrees 'F'.

T= Average System Operating Temperature, Degrees F 300


Vs= Volume of Water in System, Gallons 5000
Pf= Make-up Fill Water Pressure PSIG 45
Po= Maximum Operating Pressure of System PSIG 75
Vt= Minimum Volume Expansion Tank Required 463.31 Plain Steel Tank

Treatment Treatment What You Want Chemistry Chemistry YOU WANT
Eliminate No Water Phosphate (PO4) HARDNESS SOFT Good Heat Transfer
Hardness Scale Softner Precipitation Hardness = 0 Ca++ +CO3 = CaCO3 3Ca++ + 2PO4 = Cay(PO4)2 Lower Energy Cost
Removes Calcium or PO4 =30-60 ppm Great! Calcium + Carbonate = Calcium Carbonate Calcium + Phosphate = Soft Sludge Longer Boiler life
and Magnesium Chelant or Slow Reaction results in hard formation Fast reaction results in a soft formation
salts only Solubilizer Chelant = 10-30 ppm
Hardness Test Treat at the Feedwater Tank
SOAP TEST HACH 5B REAGENT
1 Drop = Soft (<1 Grain) Pink = Hard
2 Drops = Hard (1-2 Grains) Blue = Soft <1 Grain
3 Drops = Hard (2-3 Grains) Each drop of reagent = 1 Grain
Run Sample COLD
Eliminate No Deareate Sulfite Oxygen = 0 Fe + 1/2O2 = FeO 2SO3 + O2 = 2SO4
Oxygen Corrosion or SO3 = 30-60 ppm Great! Iron Metal + Oxygen = Rust Sulfite + Oxygen = Sulfate Longer Boiler Life
Hot Feedwater
Sulfite Residual Test Treat at the Feedwater Tank
1 Drop = 10 ppm May be injected directly into the boiler
Desired 30-60 ppm but don't forget the feedwater tank
Run Sample HOT
Run this TEST FIRST!

Polymer Solids Poly = 10-50 ppm

Control TDS Pure Steam Reverse Osmosis Blowdown TDS = 3,000 - 5,000ppm Prevent Boiler Water Carry Over Pure Steam Clean Boiler
"Total or Manual TDS <= 3,000 Great! Priming and Impure or Wet Steam and Good Heat Treansfer

NOTES: TDS - Unnutralized TDS readings are affected by pH. Use the pH Correction table below to correct TDS to sample pH.
The Higher number in the TDS column represents the maximum limits for safe boiler operation at the indicated operating pressure.
Depending on publication some authorities allow for upto 4000 TDS in Water Tube boilers operating from 0-150 psig.
ASME for Saturated Steam Boilers allows for upto 5595 TDS (8000 Conductivity) up to 300 PSI and 4545 TDS (6500 Conductivity) above 300 but at or below 600 PSIG
TDS Error due to High pH
If Nutralizing Agents are not available then Subtract the 'Error' number from the TDS reading to arrive at 'Neutralized TDS' number.

11.6 460 The 4-20mA signal(PV) to the recvieing device is ranged 0-20
11.8 700 This is then converted to TDS as follows
12.0 1050 (PV/1.43) *1000 = TDS Reading (Non-Nutralized)
12.2 1500 If you want to correct for pH (which should be 11.56 in boilers)
12.4 2400 subtract 455 from your calculation as follows.
12.6 3800 ((PV/1.43) *1000) - 455 = TDS Reading (Nutralized to 11.56pH)
12.8 6100
13.0 10,000

EXAMPL1] TDS Reading of 2850 and an operating pH of 11.56 (normal) would be corrected to 2390 (I.e. 2850-460=2390)
2] TDS Reading of 2850 and an operating pH of 9.0* (low) would be corrected to 2850 (I.e. 2850-0=2850)
* NOTE a pH of 9.0 is considered LOW. Normal Operating pH is recommended to be at 11.56.

FOOTNOTES:

For modular boilers, each


1 module shall have a pressure
control that will shut off the
fuel supply when the steam
pressure reaches a preset
operating pressure

For modular boilers, each


module shall have at least one
temperature actuated control
2 to shut off the fuel supply
when the system water
reaches a preset operating
temperature.

The assembled modular boiler


shall have a high steam
pressure limit control that will
3 prevent the generation of
steam pressure in excess of
the maximum allowable
working pressure.

The assembled modular hot


water boiler shall have a high
temperature limit control that
4 will prevent the water
temperature from exceeding
the maximum allowable
temperature.

Required for direct ignition


5 systems. Not required for
ignition systems with pilots

Optional one safety shutoff

both air flow and damper
position proven.

Four air changes at 60%


damper opening with both air

proven.

Units equipped with automatic


operating air shutters or
dampers which are closed or
positioned to restrict air when
10 burner is not firing, shall
provide means to open the air
shutter or damper the high fire
position for at least 90
seconds prior to light off.

One of the two low-water fuel


11 cutoffs may be a combined
feeder / cutoff device.

For low pressure steam units


with inputs of 400,000 Btu/Hr.
or less, only one low-water
12 fuel cutoff is required gravity
return units installed in
residences as defined by the
authority having jurisdiction.

For modular low pressure


steam boilers, each module
shall be equipped with an
automatic low-water fuel
cutoff. The assembled
13 modular boiler shall have a
second low-water cutoff.
Operation of this low-water
fuel cutoff shall shut off the
fuel supply to all modules.

Except those installed in


14 residences (as defined by the
authority having jurisdiction).
Print Out 10/19/2020
An assembled modular boiler
shall be protected by a low-
water fuel cutoff located so
that it will detect a low-water
condition before the level falls
15 below the lowest safe
waterline in any module.
Operation of the low-water
fuel cutoff shall shutoff the fuel
to all modules.

In Lieu of the requirements for


low-water fuel cutoff in a water
tube or coil-type boiler
requiring forced circulation,
they shall have an accepted
sensing device to prevent
burner operational a flow rate
inadequate to protect the
16 boiler from overheating.
Where there is a definitive
waterline, a low-water fuel
cutoff shall be provided in
addition to the sensing device.
Functioning of the low-water
fuel cutoff shall cause a safety
shutdown.

17 Close main valve and recycle.

When two safety valves are


provided in the fuel train, an
additional leak test valve is
22 required so that each safety
shutoff valve may be tested
independently of the other.

Gas pressure relief valves,


where required, shall be
located upstream of all
operating and safety controls
23 and downstream of the gas
pressure regulator I both the
main and pilot gas supply
systems. The relief valve in is
