water receives heat to become vapour thus carrying energy .
water is mainly used because it is plentiful and has very high latent heat of vapourisation which absorbs a hell lot of heat during evaporation.
here heat energy is converted into pressure energy during heating formation of steam and then expanded in turbines or let out to get kinetic energy as the output.

Why is condensation useful?
whenever steam is utilised as heating media, steam condensate is produced.This steam condensatecan be utilsed for steam generation at some other location and needs to be pumped, for pumping you need some intermediate storage of this condensate. For storing it we use condensate pot whose level can be controlled.
Where can a condensate pump be purchased?
There are a number of places where a condensate pump can be purchased. Sites such as Saniflo, Creative Pumps and Little Giant Pump all stock condensate pumps.
What exactly is the definition of condensate?
A condensate is a liquid that is formed from the process of condensation. An example of a condensate is the water that forms on the outside of a glass filled with water and ice on a very hot day.
What is noun of condense?
condensate.
Will a steam cleaner remove candle wax from a carpet?
it might but It Ill do it Oo
What is a steam trap?
A device that will allow cooler condensate to pass and hold back the higher temperature steam
How does a impulse steam trap work?
It works on the principle that condensate at a given temperature will flash to steam after pressure has been significantly reduced.
What is the function of the a steam?
Discharge condensate as soon as it is formed.Have a negligible steam consumption.Have the capability of discharging air and other non-condensable gases.those are the three important functions of a steam trap

What is hammering in steam header's how can you avoid it?
condensate,bleed line of all condensate
How does condensate return to a boiler?
Condensate is what you get when you condense steam (water) that was heated in a boiler to make the steam. I'm not sure what else you are looking for.
Why hammering is happening in steam line?
condensate in the steam piping, probably due to improper slope of piping to allow condensate flow out.
Why steam trap is used in piping?
Steam is produced in Boilers of suitable design depending upon the requirement. Due to heat loss in the system due to various reasons steam is likely to lose the heat and slowly condense in to water. Some Equipments using the steam are not suitable to accept steam with water contents. Hence we have to prevent the condensate ( water) from entering such system/equipments. To do this we use a product called Steam Trap. Steam traps are designed for retaining the steam alone ( as clear from the name) and allow only the water to exit the system through suitable drain piping. This safeguards the system/equipments using the steam ...

steam traps?
Steam traps are crucial components in steam systems used to remove condensate (water formed by the condensation of steam) from the system without allowing the steam to escape. These devices prevent the loss of valuable steam while ensuring efficient drainage of condensate. Steam traps operate on various principles, including mechanical, thermodynamic, and thermostatic mechanisms. They play a vital role in maintaining the proper functioning and energy efficiency of steam systems in industrial applications, heating systems, and other processes where steam is utilized.
