Current situation: There is an excessive amount of Dowtherm hot oil vapor moving through a heat exchanger, causing pressure in the condensate line and collection tank.
Proposed solution: Place a hot oil vapor trap on the outlet of the heat exchanger to capitalize on latent heat and minimize...
To find average heat losses on a motor, it can be quickly determined using the rated HP and efficiency.
EX. A 200 HP @1800 RPM and 95% eff.
200 HP x (1-.95) = 10 HP
10 HP x 2550 = 25,500 BTU/hr
(25,500 BTU/hr) / (12,000 BTU/hr) = 2.125 Tons
But what if the motor is run off a VFD...
