The Clayton Guide To Steam Generation.

Steam Systems

Systems and equipment that ensure trouble-free operation of the steam generating plant are designed with the same Clayton experience and expertise. Clayton offers a range of ancillaries and packages to match the selected steam generators and manufactured to the same high standards.

The most common system is the Clayton Open System in which condensate can be returned at atmospheric pressure. In the Open System, boiler feedwater is directed from an atmospheric Hotwell to the Clayton Pump and is fed to the Clayton Steam Generator. Steam flows from the Clayton Steam Separator outlet nozzle through a backpressure regulating valve and the condensate from the separator is re-circulated back to the hotwell. The small amount of blowdown required on a Clayton Steam Generator is taken from the recirculation line. The make-up water supply can be passed through a water softener and chemicals can be dosed directly into the hotwell.

On multiple Clayton Steam Generator installations the feedwater equipment is common to all. Other tried and tested designs include the Clayton Closed and Semi-Closed Systems that are used where energy savings from condensate heat recovery is required.
