Typical Specifications

Building Heat Convertor Packages

Manufacturer: Advanced Steam Technology Co. or approved equal.

Vertical Style Steam/Water Heat Exchanger Package with XE Control for "extra energy extraction" from the steam and condensate. 

Self standing steel framework.  Pre-piped steam trap, strainer, and control valve on condensate side.  Pre-piped stabilizing pump and thermometers on water side.

Capacity XXX gpm, with EWT XXF and LWT XXF, XXX psi steam

System shall be designed to discharge condensate at 200F or less.

Heat exchanger shall be specifically designed for vertical flooded operation.  Shell shall be constructed of (steel, 304SS, 316SS) with (150, 300) psi ASME rating.  Tubes shall be (copper, cupro-nickel, 304SS, 316SS) with (150, 300) psi ASME rating.

High performance industrial grade control valve for primary condensate control.  Fisher Series 24000 or equal.  Actuator shall be (Fisher pneumatic, Baumann electric).  Backup steam trap shall be installed after primary control valve.  Overflow steam trap shall be installed above heat exchanger inlet.

System shall have a secondary high temperature safety system to shut off steam flow and a diode mechanism on the condensate side to allow the heat exchanger to shut down.

Frame and all steel components shall be painted with an industrial grade, rust resistant paint.  Painted surfaces shall be protected during shipment and installation.

System shall be pressure tested before shipment.

Provide pre-wired (electronic, pneumatic) control panel with (MODBus, BACNET) controls (or control can be coordinated with BAS contractor).
