Hello everyone,
My client is pretending to expand steam at 200 bar and 370 ºC up to 56 bar and 270 ºC which means that this steam goes from nearly saturated to fully biphasic. He thinks it can be done by a valve and after that separate steam from water.
However, I have always though that valves do not like the biphasic area and in this case, we are no going to have a little condensation but a lot (quality at the final point is close to 50%).
Does anyone know if it is possible to do this by using valves? If that is the case, can you name some suppliers to contact?
If it is not possible, flash tanks? any other means?
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help!
