– One boiler horsepower = 33,479 Btu/hr. heat to steam = 34.5 lb./hr. of water evaporated from and at 212°F = 9.8 Kilowatts
Dry Steam – Steam which contains no liquid water. Saturated Steam – Steam which is at the same temperature as the water from which it was evaporated. Wet Steam – Steam which contains liquid water. Its quality is less than 100%.
Enthalpy – Heat content, Btu/lb, of a liquid or vapor. Latent Heat of Vaporization – The heat required to convert a material from its liquid to its vapor phase without raising its temperature. The latent heat of vaporization of water at 1 atmosphere pressure and 212°F is 970.3 Btu/lb. Quality – In a mixture of steam and water, the weight percentage which is present as steam; in other words, the percent of complete vaporization which has taken place. The quality of saturated steam is 100%.
