Steam regulation

Post by Bolverk »

Howdy all,

Ok steam gurus, got a question..

When using low pressure steam to heat a reboiler where do you put the control valve, on the steam side or condensate side?

I feel like if i put the valve on the steam side it will just blow past the restriction, where as if I put it on the condensate side you'd get a little back pressure to push the water along... but I'm 100% guessing here.

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
