Condensate Flow Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Condensate Flow Rate (CFR) is:

\[ \text{CFR} = \text{SF} \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{SQ}}{100}\right) \]

Where:

Condensate Flow Rate (CFR): The measure of the mass of condensate produced per hour when steam is cooled below its saturation temperature.
Steam Flow (SF): The amount of steam flowing per hour (pounds per hour).
Steam Quality (SQ): The proportion of steam that is vapor (percentage).

Let's say the steam flow (SF) is 1000 pounds per hour and the steam quality (SQ) is 90%. Using the formula:

\[ \text{CFR} = 1000 \times \left(1 - \frac{90}{100}\right) = 100 \, \text{pounds per hour} \]

So, the condensate flow rate is 100 pounds per hour.
