What is water hammer in steam pipeline
When steam is generated in the boiler, it will inevitably carry part of the boiler water, and the boiler water enters the steam system along with the steam, which is called steam carry.
When the steam system is started, if it wants to heat the entire steam pipe network at ambient temperature to the temperature of the steam, it will inevitably produce condensation of steam. This part of the condensed water that heats the steam pipe network at startup is called the start-up load of the system.
