Abstract
A method and system for monitoring a steam system through remotely monitoring numerous points of a saturated steam system, wherein the method compares a steam temperature sensed at a portion of the steam system by a first sensor to a threshold subcooled temperature derived by a pressure sensed by a second sensor at or near the same portion of the steam system, wherein the method emits a warning to the first sensor when the sensed saturated temperature exceeds the derived threshold subcooled temperature.
Claims10
A subcooled temperature detection system for a saturated steam system, the subcooled temperature detection system comprising:
- a plurality of temperature sensors operatively associated with different portions of the saturated steam system;
- one or more pressure sensors operatively associated the saturated steam system;
- and
- a user interface software coupled to said sensors and one or more saturated steam tables;
- wherein the user interface software is configured to:
- calculate a subcooled temperature threshold based on a pressure sensed by the one or more pressure sensors as a function of the saturated steam table;
- compare a temperature sensed by each temperature sensor to the calculated subcooled temperature;
- and
- send an alarm signal to each temperature sensor having a sensed temperature below the calculated subcooled temperature.
