but here is the catch would 180psi make a big enough impact on heating these railcars faster that we could turn the boiler off sooner than keeping it on longer in order to get these railcars up to heat at 80psi?

impossible and this process is a dead end. we cant do a whole lot more on the railcars persay, so im looking into other options.
and when the steam passes through the railcars it hits a thermal dynamic steam trap and dumps into our condensate line to a satalite tank than goes to our...
At our plant we use our boiler as a heat transfering energy. my problem is we max out our boiler when we have a full load and i have an idea of fixing it if it works. we used to go to 150psi on our boiler which heated our railcars fairly well over a 24 hour period but we decided to try new...
my thinking is take a air compressor if its at 150psi and open the valve wide open it drains the tank and the pump is trying to keep it at 150 but if you crack the valve it takes longer and the pump dosent work hard to keep the pressure. now putting that in prospective of a boiler would it be...

thank you for your insite like you said so many things to consider and to keep in mined. like they say for every upside there a down side, and the question is what over comes more good than bad or visa versa. what i think i might do is start some smaller tests and trials before forking over...
sounds like ill be gaining more heat in the steam but the fuel might go up in the process to keep it at 180? now concidering we have to heat the railcars longer because we have the boiler running at 80 psi do you think our fuel consumption might be lower if i run with this idea? my reasoning is...
thats correct my think is take a air compressor if its at 150psi and open the valve wide open it drains the tank and the pump is trying to keep it at 150 but if you crack the valve it takes longer and the pump dosent work hard to keep the pressure.
