7.2 Maximum continuous evaporation

When necessary, measure the maximum continuous evaporation of the steam generating system, so as to measure the maximum continuous output capacity of the system.

7.3 Pressure drop of steam water system

The pressure drop of the steam water system is the static pressure difference between the inlet and outlet, which can be directly measured by a differential pressure gauge.

The inlet and outlet static pressure can also be measured at the same time, and calculated according to formula (1):

phin - The static pressure at the inlet of the heat transfer oil, in megapascals (MPa);

phout - The static pressure at the outlet of the heat transfer oil, in megapascals (MPa).

NOTE: The correction of the system liquid column weight differential pressure shall be considered by the testing agency itself.

7.6 Steam quality

7.6.1 Test requirements

7.6.1.1 The steam quality test shall be carried out simultaneously with the evaporation test.

7.6.1.2 Monitor the quality of feed water and steam drum saturated water. Conduct steam quality test under the premise of ensuring the quality of feed water and steam drum saturated water is qualified.

7.6.1.3 The steam quality shall be measured when the water circulation system or steam-water separation system is changed, the drum water level fluctuates seriously during the load change process, the feed water quality is changed, and the superheater or steam turbine is heavily salted.

7.6.2 Measurement methods

7.6.2.1 Saturated steam humidity can be measured by chloride ion concentration titration method, sodium ion concentration meter or conductivity meter method. The temperature of the water specimen and the steam specimen shall be the same for each measurement.
