Condensate Pipe Vibration Analysis in the Air Cooling System

Abstract

Condensate pipe vibration in the air cooling system was analyzed. The flow pattern discrimination parameters were obtained through carrying out the iterative calculation on the continuity equation and flow equation. It was proposed to use the flow analysis method to determine pipe diameter and arrangement in the design, and to use the static and dynamic analysis methods to determine pipe support settings. These analysis methods are effective to actual engineering design proved by an example. Finally this paper puts forward the improvement measures to prevent condensate pipe vibration.
