2.2.2. Saturated steam


If you want to start calculation for the medium saturated steam, you can enter the required data.

Please enter the condensation temperature at which the unit shall be designed, either °C or °F.

For condensation temperature please enter the following physical properties:

a. Density, units to be chosen: kg/m³; lb/ft³; kg/l

b. Thermal conductivity, units to be chosen: W/mK; BTU/ft hr °F; kcal/h m °C

c. Dyn. viscosity, units to be chosen: Pa s; cP; lb/ft hr

d. Condensation enthalpy, units to be chosen: J/kg ; kJ/kg ; BTU/lb ; kcal/kg

e. Alpha value, units to be chosen: W/m²K; etc.

With button "save" you can save the entered values for this calculation and return to the main dialogue.

With button "delete" you can delete the entered values for this calculation.

If you push button "cancel" you return to the main dialogue again.

Important: To ensure that the program imports the properties when pushing "save", all entry fields must be filled.

Please make sure that the medium you entered is the suited one for the plates, gaskets and other materials available in the program.

We cannot accept any guarantee/responsibility for the alpha values given by you if performance has not been achieved.

For supplementation of physical properties (especially in case of unusual kind of steam) we cannot accept any guarantee/responsibility in the event of incompatibility with our materials. (A corresponding hint is given on the pages which can be printed out.)

As regards suitability of media, please contact our sales department prior to placing an order if necessary.

We will give you any advice.
