ASME Code defines a slow opening valve as what? - correct answer- One requiring at least 5 full 360 degree turns between full open and close position. Page 374
A 300 Horsepower boiler operating at 100psi has an average load of 75% with 80% condensate return and 5% blow down.The treatment provides a chemical which costs $8.75 per gallon, and will treat 600 gallon. Find the amount of the chemical needed for the day period, and the cost of the chemical for a 30 days period? - correct answer- Water In = Water Out Makeup + Condensate Return = Evaporator + Blow Down
Average Evaporator Rate = 300 x 34.5 pph x .75% load = 7762, 50 pph
- Month + .8( 7762.50 pph) = 7762.50 pph + 0500 m
- Month + 6210 pph = 7762.50 pph + .0500 m
-6210 -6210
- Month = 1552.5 pph + .0500
