Calculating the amount of steam in non-flow batch and continuous flow heating processes. In general steam heating is used to. change a product or fluid temperature. maintain a product or fluid temperature. A benefit with steam is the large amount of heat energy that can be transferred.
This tutorial covers how to calculate steam requirements for flow and non-flow applications, including warm up, heat losses and running loads.
The saturated steam requirement at a heat exchanger can initially be calculated using the following simple formula: Formula for rough calculation of the saturated steam requirement of indirect consumers. ṁ S,iC = Q ·HX ∙ 1.8. Example calculation for rough calculation of the saturated steam requirement of indirect consumers.
Submerged steam coils - A widely used form of heat transfer involves the installation inside a tank of a steam coil immersed in a process fluid. Steam jackets - Steam circulates in the annular space between a jacket and the vessel walls, and heat is transferred through the wall of the vessel.
Steam is often used to heat air. Steam condensing rate for air heating equipment can be calculated as. m s = q dt c p ρ / h e (1) where . m s = rate of condensation, steam consumption (kg/s) q = volumetric air flow rate (m 3 /s) dt = temperature difference in air flow (o C) c p = specific heat of air (kJ/kg o C) ρ = density air (kg/m 3)
Heat Transfer from Condensation (Steam) The secret is in the transfer of heat resulting from the process of condensation. The latent heat contained in steam is released the instant steam condenses into the liquid state.

Fuel System – provides chemical energy to the boiler (or combustion turbine if a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is used). Boiler – converts the fuel’s chemical energy to thermal energy. Distribution – conveys steam to the point of use.
