A condensates return temperature of 210 degrees indicates excessive steam pressure.


What is the temperature of steam at pressure 2.4 bar?

At a pressure of 2.4 bar, the temperature of saturated steam is approximately 134.5 degrees Celsius (or 274.1 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature corresponds to the boiling point of water at that specific pressure. As pressure increases, the boiling point of water rises, resulting in higher steam temperatures.


How hot can a steam engine get?

The temperature of steam in a steam engine can reach up to about 450°F (232°C) or higher, depending on the pressure. In high-pressure steam engines, temperatures can exceed 600°F (315°C). However, the temperature is limited by the materials used in the engine and safety concerns, as excessive heat can lead to failure or dangerous accidents. The efficiency and performance of a steam engine are closely related to the temperature and pressure of the steam it generates.


What is the cut out temp on a steam boiler?

Steam Boilers don't usually cut out on temperature but when they reach a preset pressure.


What is steam in thermodynamics?

Saturated steam is gas-phase water in equilibrium with liquid water at the same temperature and pressure. If the temperature is above the saturation point and/or the pressure is below the saturation pressure, the steam is "superheated steam". In either case it is a gas. There are some conventions where saturated steam along with some fraction of liquid water in equilibrium with it is still referred to as steam even if not all of it is gas, as long as at least some of it is gas.

What is the reaction of graphite and water?

Nothing, It will sink but it won't react with water at room temperature. You have to heat graphite to something like 800 degrees Celsius to react with water at that temperature it will react with steam to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas.


What is the Temp of 60psi steam?

The temperature of steam at 60 psi (pounds per square inch) is approximately 165°C (329°F). This temperature is derived from steam tables, which relate pressure and temperature for saturated steam. At this pressure, the steam is in a saturated state, meaning it can condense back into water at this temperature.

How hot does the steam get on a steam engine?

The temperature of the steam in a steam engine will vary as the pressure of the steam. The higher the pressure, the higher the temperature that the steam headers (pipes) will run at. Because pressure varies between steam engines, temperature will vary also. Those temperatures could be from between 300 to 400 degrees on up to 700 to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the actual pressure the boiler is running at.Toy - Model steam engines typically use much lower steam pressures, and these machines run at 220F to about 250F

What is the temperature of steam in a closed heat pipe before it condensed and turned back into water?

That would depend on the pressure as there is something called pressure /temperature relationship @ 1 PSI the steam is 212 deg That would depend on the pressure as there is something called pressure /temperature relationship @ 1 PSI the steam is 212 deg


How hot can steam get?

The temperature of steam depends on the pressure of the system. Higher pressure steam can get super hot. Steam at atm is around 212 degree F, like boiling water.


How do you control steam temperature in a boiler other then spray in supreheater and reheater?

What is the temperature of steam at 2 psig?

At 2 psig (pounds per square inch gauge), the temperature of steam is approximately 226°F (108.9°C). This temperature corresponds to the saturation point of steam, meaning it is the temperature at which water boils and turns into steam at that pressure.


What is flashsteam?

Flash steam is steam that is produced when high temperature high pressure water is released to the atmosphere.


What is the movement of the molecules in the high pressure steam?

In high pressure steam, molecules move rapidly and collide with each other and the walls of the container, creating pressure. This rapid movement is due to the high temperature of the steam.


How valid is the assumption that the initial temperature of the steam is 100 degrees celsius?

The assumption that the initial temperature of steam is 100 degrees Celsius is generally valid when referring to saturated steam at atmospheric pressure. However, it's important to consider that the temperature of steam can vary depending on the pressure or if it is superheated. Additional information or measurements may be needed to confirm the exact initial temperature of the steam in a specific scenario.
