Steam Tracing - Manifold to Manifold

STEAM TRACING SOLUTIONS

SLIS provides Manifold-TO-Manifold installations and designs. The SLIS steam tracing system includes full packages of steel Forge Manifolds.

The type MSC forged steel manifolds centralize steam distribution and condensate collection for up to 12 sources. Steam Manifolds have variety of connections, making them particularly well suited for tracing applications. The compact design provides easy access for trap maintenance and monitoring, while the mounting arrangement permits quick installation. The condensate collection manifold includes an internal siphon pipe to promote even temperature distribution and ensure single-phase discharge of condensate. The quality systems of SLIS offer a trustworthy and easily operational system that is plant friendly and meets the demands of everyday processes.

Engineered Steam Tracing Solutions: Manifold-TO-Manifold

The general practice of heating piping as material flows through it to keep the materials at a constant temperature and compensate for heat loss is known as heat tracing. In the case of steam tracing the heat is generated excess steam from other processes.

STEAM DISTRIBUTION MANIFOLDS

MSC Manifolds for Steam Distribution

These manifolds have been designed for vertical installation. The back is provided with M12 threaded connections for ease of installation by attaching t supporting structure.

For ease of installation it isrecommended that spacers are fitted to give the manifold a standat least 2" (50mm). Following installation, it is recommended that the manifold is insulated to minimize radiated heat losses and to protect personnel from burn risks.

For convenience the following mounting kits (comprising 50mm spacers and M12 studs and nuts) and thermal insulation blankets are available.

Condensate collection duty

The recommended installation is with the condensate outlet at the top. The bottom of the manifold should be fitted with a stop valve for blowdown purposes. Again, we recommend that a diffuser is fitted.

All units are hydro tested to 1.5 times design pressure, and painted with industrial heat resistant coating (Black) with a maximum temperature of 850ºF

DESCRIPTION

The type MSC forged steel manifolds centralize steam distribution and condensate collection for up to 12 sources.

Both models have integral piston valves with a variety of connections, making them particularly well suited for tracing applications.

The compact design provides easy access for trap maintenance and monitoring, while the mounting arrangement permits quick installation.

The condensate collection manifold includes an internal siphon pipe to promote even temperature distribution and ensure single-phase discharge of condensate.

Steam tracing is a process that is designed to prevent Heat Loss as materials are moved through a piping process system. A common application for this process is in the oil/gas industry. The piping at refineries is commonly fitted with steam tracing equipment. Using this technique allows refineries, chemical plants and storage terminals to safely and efficiently control the heating of their processes.
