RMW:
No problem, I understand the difference between above/below on the FW train. As you can probably tell, the client I am dealing with has scant documentation on the existing plant, little design basis information on the equipment he is purchasing, and no direction on how he wants the plant...

This unit does have a DA that is "above" the FWH and this connection in question is the normal drain. I utilized the two-phase flow link and find a modest amount of pressure loss, and what appears to be a large errosion potential.
I think the suggestion to place the CV next to the...
Thank you RMW for the information. I suspected it would be more difficult than hoped. Your reference will be helpful. This plant is small (20MW) and has only one FW Heater. There is no cascade to lower pressure heaters. I am assuming that it will be as difficult to send the condensate to...

I am providing piping for a feedwater heater drain (level control) to the condenser. Heater pressure is at 250psig and condenser at 2.5psia. Control valve will need to be sized for flashing flow, but what about the downstream piping? How do I size the piping for flashing flow? Maximum...
