Condensate Load from Heating Air
Condensate Load from Heating Air formula
| \(\large{ m_c = \frac { 60 \; c_a \; \gamma_a \; Q_a \; \left( T_o \;-\; T_i \right) } { L_s } }\) |
Where:
| Units | English | Metric |
| \(\large{ m_c }\) = condensate load | \(lbm\) | \(kg\) |
| \(\large{ Q_a }\) = flow rate of air | \(\large{\frac{ft^3}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m^3}{s}}\) |
| \(\large{ L_s }\) = latent heat of steam | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kJ}{kg}}\) |
| \(\large{ c_a }\) = specific heat of air | \(\large{\frac{Btu}{lbm-F}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kJ}{kg-K}}\) |
| \(\large{ \gamma_a }\) (Greek symbol gamma) = specific weight of air | \(\large{\frac{lbf}{ft^3}}\) | \(\large{\frac{N}{m^3}}\) |
| \(\large{ T_i }\) = inlet temperature of air | \(\large{F}\) | \(\large{K}\) |
| \(\large{ T_o }\) = outlet temperature of air | \(\large{F}\) | \(\large{K}\) |
