r to Example ) Consider a condensate load of 200 kg/h to a receiver and pump. The pump discharge rate for this mechanical type pump is taken as six times the filling rate, hence, the condensate rate taken for this example is 6 x 200 = 1 200 kg/h.Because the condensate will have lost its flash steam content to atmosphere via the receiver vent, the pump will only be pumping liquid condensate. In this instance, it is only necessary to use the top part of the chart in Figure . As the line from the pump is rising, the upper figure of 25 mm is chosen.Note: If the pumped line were longer than 100 m, the next larger size must be taken, which for this example would be 32 mm. A useful tip for lines of 100 m or less is to choose a discharge pipe which is the same size as the pump. For further details refer to Tutorial 39。Pumping condensate from vented receivers39。.
