Answer / santosh raikar
as the bad insulation or radiation heat transfer
condensation takes place in steam pipes. due to the
condensation water vapors accumulate in pipes, if these are
not separated/removed from the system, hammering takes
place. this is due to the density difference b/w steam and
water vapor there by difference in flow rate. this
difference flow rate causes resistance and sudden hammering
takes place.
to overcome this proper insulation to be provided, the
sloping of 12mm to 3 mtrs of pipe to be provided and the
most imp is proper type of steam trap to draining the
condensate.

Answer / anand swami
THIS IS DUE TO RAPID CONDENSATION OF STEAM AS LINE IS COLD
THAT WILL CREATE VACUUM AND DUE TO THIS WATER DROPS MOVES
THROUGH HIGH VELOCITY AND COLLIDE WITH PIPE WALLS CAUSING
SEVER HAMMERING
TO AVOID ONE SHOULD CHARGE THE LINE FIRST SLOWLY

Answer / vijay sinha
hammering occur in piprline due to condensation of vapour
if we are not removing condensate.so steam trap should be
used

Answer / arockia
As two phase medium flow in a line hammering will occures,
as water and steam flows water hammering occures, by
providing steam trap we can avoid.

Hai, iam renjith. my qtn about the calorex heat and cool pump. What is the reason of the above machine is trip on high pressure. r134a gas using in this system. 8 months old. model is calorex propac 90(3 phase). This system has 2 compressor. Both are starting on 13amps after that rise up to around 21 within 1 minute. After will be trip on high pressure. Showing 68 psi in suction side on standby mode. Can i have a solution without delay?
