What else can I help you with?
Is a steam heating system more economical than natural gas?
Steam heating is a legacy system left over from previous generations. It's less efficient thant modern heating systems. However it's often not economical to rip out a steam heating system and then replace it.
Why does steam cause bend in pipes?
It does things to the things in the things the pipes are made out of if you get me
Auxiliary steam stop valve?
It is a stop valve placed on an auxiliary piece of equipment. Or it could be placed at the steam main to feed an auxiliary steam system (heating, auxiliary pumping. etc.). It is not the Main steam stop for the boiler or the prime mover (engine, turbine, process), it is for a secondary service.
How is steam produced at a power plant?
By heating water
What is the difference between steam generating unit and boiler?
A steam generating unit generally is not a self contained unit and allows the steam by-product (water) to escape. A Boiler is generally a sealed system that recirculates the condensed water back to the heating chamber for re-use.
Why do pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?
So the pressure wont bust the pipe.
Why do pipes in a steam heating system need to be insulated?
In a steam heating system, the pipes transport steam or water vapor to the radiators to heat the building. Insulating the pipes reduces the amount of heat lost to the surrounding environment. Any heat lost in the pipes cannot be used to heat the radiators, and causes the system to be less energy efficient.
Why do the pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?
Because the ambient temperature on the outside creates alot of condensation and drips, never mind the heat loss of the steam
How is energy transferred in a steam heating system?
In a steam heating system, energy is transferred by condensing steam back into water. Steam is generated in a boiler, then travels through pipes to radiators where it releases heat to warm the space. As the steam cools, it turns into water and returns to the boiler to be reheated and continue the cycle.
How is energy transferred in a steam heating systemm?
In a steam heating system, energy is transferred from the steam to the surrounding air or objects through conduction. The steam gives off heat as it condenses into water, warming up the radiators or pipes in the system, which then heat the space through convection and radiation.
What is a steam fitter?
One that installs or repairs equipment (such as steam pipes) for heating, ventilating, or refrigerating systems
Why do pipes carrying the steam to the radiator need to be insulated?
Other wise heat loss will occur and the radiators wont be as hot.
Why do the pipes carrying the steam to the radiator need to be insulated?
Other wise heat loss will occur and the radiators wont be as hot.
What has the author Isaac Chaimovitsch written?
Isaac Chaimovitsch has written: 'Tables for calculating sizes of steam pipes for low pressure heating' -- subject(s): Steam-heating, Low pressure

How do you know what type of heating and cooling system you have?
You look... Do you have ducts, pipes or both? fans, pumps or both? hot air,water or steam? oil, gas,propane or electric?
What is the trace heating or heat tracing?
Heat tracing can be of 2 types: 1] Electrical Heat tracing: 2] Steam Tracing: Electrical heat tracing can be described as an insulated electrical heating cable, which is spiralled around the process fluid pipe( or object that needs to be heated), after which the pipe and tracing is insulated with the appropriate type and thickness of insulation lagging material. In steam tracing, instead of electrical heating cable, small pile is spiralled which carry steam thereby heating the desired object.
