Hello
Not a CAD question at all, but as there are specialists on the forum, I may have an answer.
I have a steam boiler (which supplies a factory with steam) which consumed in 2016: 11,200 Kw/h
My steam network is at 6 bars.
I have to find the steam flow rate for the year 2016 (in kg/h)
I don't know which end to attack my problem. Any opinion?
Hello, unless I'm mistaken, we can't answer you with this data alone.
We have no loss coef, no outlet tube section, the temperature of the steam, ...
Stupid question, there is no water meter at the entrance? Nothing is lost, everything is transformed...
Kind regards.
Edit: From the temperature of the steam, we can determine the energy needed to raise 1g of water to this temperature and therefore the electrical power consumed. All that remains is to make a cross product, which should give a volume of water, then calculate the total volume according to the operating time and finally relate it to a flow rate.
Hello
Here you will find a calculator that will give you the flow rate in Kg/cm2
It is then up to you to calculate the ratio to obtain your value.
I hope I have helped you. =)
Already your boiler to consume what for your 11200Kw/h
How long will it take? Does it seem very weird to me ........?

It seems to me that there is some confusion of data in your message
In theory we calculate but roughly 1 kg/h of steam supplied 2.2 MJ per hour, i.e. a flux of 611W

I also came to the conclusion that I was missing information, but I wanted feedback to confirm my opinion!
Thank you
