CONDENSATE POT
CONDENSATE POT
A Condensate Pot is a specialized vessel used in steam, gas, and high-temperature fluid systems to collect and store condensate before it reaches sensitive measuring instruments. It acts as an intermediary between the process line and differential pressure transmitters or gauges, ensuring a stable liquid head and preventing the ingress of live steam or high-temperature gases into the instrumentation. Condensate pots are critical components in power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, and steam distribution systems, where they protect measurement devices from heat damage and improve accuracy by maintaining a consistent fluid column. These vessels are typically constructed from carbon steel or stainless steel and are available in 2, 3, or 4-port configurations with threaded or welded connections.
- Heavy-duty cylindrical body: Designed to withstand high pressure and temperature.
- Multiple port configurations: Available in 2-port, 3-port, or 4-port designs for flexible installation.
- Standard connection types: NPT threaded, socket weld, butt weld, or flanged ends.
- Material options: Carbon steel, SS304, SS316, or alloy steel for corrosion resistance.
- Mountable in vertical or horizontal orientation: Based on process requirements.
- Optional drain and vent ports: For maintenance and pressure relief.
- Protects instruments from direct exposure to high-temperature steam or gas.
- Ensures accurate pressure and differential pressure measurements by maintaining a stable condensate level.
- Reduces damage and wear on impulse lines and sensors.
- Minimizes the risk of flashing and instrumentation failure.
- Improves safety and reliability in steam and high-temperature fluid systems.
- Simplifies maintenance through accessible drain and vent points.
