Can I use a steam cleaner on cushion flooring?

Yes, you can use a steam cleaner on cushion flooring, but it's important to check the manufacturer's guidelines first. Ensure the flooring is sealed and designed to withstand moisture; otherwise, excessive steam can damage it. Use a low steam setting and avoid prolonged exposure to prevent warping or peeling. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.


Why is it necessary to open casing drains and drains on the steam line going to the turbine when a turbine is to be started?

To avoid slugging nozzles and blades inside the turbine with condensate on start-up; this can break these components from impact. The blades were designed to handle steam, not water.


What is the difference between saturated steam and Superheated steam?

Saturated steam occurs when steam and water are in equilibrium. If you have a closed container of water and heat it, above 100 celsius the steam pressure will start to rise, and as the temperature continues to rise, the pressure will go on rising. What is happening is that steam is being evolved to match the temperature (steam tables will give this relation) and the steam conditions are said to be saturated because if the pressure is raised by external means, some of the steam will start to condense back to water.If the steam pressure is held at a lower level than that achieved at saturation, by taking steam off to feed a turbine or other steam usage, there is effectively an excess temperature for that pressure, and the steam is said to be superheated. It in fact then becomes dry, and behaves as a gas. The amount of superheat can be quantified as so many degrees of superheat (celsius or fahrenheit).Turbine designers want steam to be superheated before reaching the turbine, to avoid condensation causing blade erosion, and steam producing boilers in power plants are designed to produce superheated steam. In plants where no turbines are used, only satured steam is normally generated.In heating applications, saturated steam is preferable, because it has a better energy exchange capacity. Superheated steam must cool down, and become saturated steam, before condensing in a heat exchanger. Also, superheated steam is a thermal insulator, like air.That is why it is necessary to direct superheated steam through a desuperheater before using the steam in heating applications.

Why hammering is happening in steam line?

Hammering in a steam line can occur due to sudden changes in pressure or temperature within the system. This can lead to the formation of water droplets that are carried along with the steam flow, causing the banging noise commonly associated with steam hammering. Proper system design and maintenance can help prevent these issues.


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 new cpp headers?

Not sure what you mean by "new" headers. You probably mean the C++ standard library headers, however these headers have been in existence since before 1998 when the language first became standardised. Prior to that, C++ used the C standard library headers, all of which have a .h extension. The C++ standard library headers have no file extension.
