Condensate Pots

Description

Typical Application of Condensate Pots:

1. Petrochemical industries and process plants
2. Refineries and Chemical Industries
3. Power plants and Instrumentation systems
4. R & D centres

Description:

The main purpose of installing a condensate pot is to hold the condensate and arrest foreign ingredients.   The function of the condensate pots is to condensate steam into a liquid to protect the instruments like transmitters from heat and to keep the liquid levels unchanged. The piping from the restricting device to the condensate pots are full of steam, and from the condensate pot to the measuring instrument is full of condensate. The condensate is drained from the bottom ports with valve connection.  The condensate water transmits the pressure to the transmitter, so that the transmitter itself is not in contact with steam. Condensate chambers are used as a barrier between the main line and the secondary instruments in the measurement of steam or other vapours which condense to a liquid state insuring compatibility with the secondary instruments.

Installation can be done either in vertical or in horizontal lines between the primary component and the secondary instrument.  It acts as a barrier to the line fluid allowing direct sensing of the flow conditions.  Condensate pots should be mounted at the same level minimizing possible error that could arise due to unequal head of fluid in the connecting pressure lines.  Usually the level in the chambers should be equal the total volume of condensate in the transmitter and the sensing lines.

Testing: 

Every condensate pot is hydrostatically tested at 1.5 times of rated pressure.

Other optional tests like PMI, DP Test, Radiography Test, EN10204-3.1 certification, hydro-test (1.5 times of the working pressure) is available upon request.
