[@Mak13927]

Keep in mind (with the temperature increase with faster particles) that speed of flow (of the articles) is not always an indicator of increased pressure, especially in enclosed systems. The increase here likely has more to do with temperature (considering expansion) the frequency of collision is more apparent between the molecules/particles within the beaker, after all temperature is in the average kinetic energy of each molecule/atom (n), since in an ideal condition where volume is constant, the pressure will increase as does the temperature. Again increased particle movement is not in direct proportion to temperature.

In my opinion steam heat is great for residential use. Although it takes a while for the radiators to get hot they retain the heat for a long time and your house does not get dry like with hot air heat

[@rebeccahutcheson599]

I just watched a video that took place and one of the coldest communities in OYMYAKON Russia. It is-65 most of the time in the winter. It is also considered one of the most dangerous communities in the world because of this cold. They brought in a huge industrial boiler and run underground veins to every one of the houses in the community. They are able to keep the heat inside the homes now at 25°C or a.k.a. 77°F. This is absolutely amazing heat source, why don’t we know more about it? Because they make more off of you when you bring a natural gas or propane or even electricity into your home. It’s always about profit.

[@mylesSS1972]

Hello and thank you for the very informative videos. I’m now to steam heating and we just purchased a building with a steam boiler. I’m trying to learn more about the older looking thermostats in each room that have a copper tube running into and out of it: How does it works and how to replace them.

[@kojocisco]

Hey The Engineering Mindset, how about video comparing steam heating and conventional hot water heating. I live in europe, it's first time I hear about steam heating so I'm curious about differences.

[@kgfgfg1]

There is not much too be compared. It is a wasteful concept that you only need if your building is so stupidly bad insulated that only burning hot radiator could keep them warm. You almost have no Control about the heat amount peer room and you need extrem amount of materials to build such things. Only in America where energy is plenty and cheap such bad concepts came up

[@justtinkering6713]

[@Metal-never-die1220]

Areas of application here in Germany for steam heating systems. Fields of application Steam heating is hardly used in office and private buildings. It is mainly used in larger buildings such as exhibition halls or warehouses. Here it is characterized by low operating costs. Another advantage is that it heats up large rooms quickly. The poor controllability and the high space requirement are disadvantages that make steam heating unsuitable for conventional private houses. The use of a steam heating system is particularly useful where process steam is generated. This is the case, for example, in industrial laundries or commercial kitchens. In this way, the steam that is generated anyway can be used for heating.

[@selfmade128]

Thanks for another simplified and well explained video. Question: Do you have to add water to this system at any time to compensate for losses?

[@Luna_Potato]

Yes you do. I have one in my house and the boilers have a water level and over time you need to go downstairs and check the water level through a guage, and open a valve connected to a water pipe, to add water. It has a saftey that electronically shuts it off if the water level is too low to prevent the boiler from running dry and exploding. So if you forget to check for a few days.. you might wake up one morning with no heat and end up mad at whoever’s job in the house it was supposed to be to check the water level and fill it. There are electronic valves you can get that install in between the waterline and the boiler that atomatically open it and add water when it detects it’s low but those are expensive and finicky and not good in my opinion for home use age, but I’d imagine are the standard in commercial settings. Ask me how I know about this happening

[@aaronlefebvre4756]

You should make a steam cooling video, thanks for the great explanations

[@davecrupel2817]

2:40 I have a question. How do you prevent the steam from pushing down on the liquid water? Wouldnt that cause the system pressure to balance out, and steam and water to stop flowing?

[@zesty2023]

So if too many people shut off their radiator valves I assume the boiler would start to overpressurize? I assume the boilers have emergency pressure pressure relief valves so they don't just blow up.

[@lelaklelok4150]

thank you for helping me!! ❤

[@josephcaruso7815]

Great video with simple explanations. Thanks 👍

[@MrExpert1970]

Let’s suppose that we supply the radiator with steam @0.5 barg. From steam tables we see that steam temperature is 112 C (233 F). Don’t you think that this radiator is going to cause severe burnings to anyone who will touch it accidentally?

Can you do a comparison between a water evaporation air conditioners (swamp coolers), a change in state air conditioner (traditional air conditioner) and heat pumps and centralized chillers. I sure love my air conditioner during the short but very hot western Canadian summers. Looking at buying a heat pump to replace my AC and supplement my winter heating.

Here are questions to refresh what you had learnt: 1. Where are steam heating systems (SHS) can be found ? 2. Where do SHS commonly use ? 3. Without required pump, how does SHS distribute and provide heat ? 4. What is the functions of a loose lid when contained water applied with thermal energy ? 5. What happened to internal pressure as thermal energy applied to a sealed container ? 6. How do water molecules react when both of the pressure and temperature are increasing ? 7. When water transformers from liquid to steam/vapor, how many times does it expand ? 8. Explain how 2-pipe steam heating system work. 9. What is steam hammering ? 10. What needs to be installed to prevent rupture or steam hammering ?

Don’t think so. I think it’s all controlled by the owner and free, I live in a big building with 6 large apartments. Our heaters are crappily painted and we have normal heat from these ocean breeze machines. Today realized the heaters were getting hot and had move stuff. Always assumed they were jus for look’s because it was painted white. Only thing I’m billed for is rent and electric. Even waters free.

The other video will only come up if you search for steam traps. But you need to know what a steam system is to be able to search for that, so this makes it easier for people to find the information they need. Additionally the extra views will hopefully bring in a little more ad revenue which we can put towards more videos so we can keep making free content for you guys

[@user-wg3zp3jt9x]

I am boiler operator and how to get a job forgen county

[@realvanman1]

I would maintain that the pressure in the system plays no role in the circulation of steam and condensate. Rather it’s the change in density and the resulting convection current. The steam is light and rises up to the radiator (always situated ABOVE the boiler). The condensate is heavy and naturally drains back to the boiler. The system pressure dictates the temperature of the steam and therefore that of the radiator.

[@kinqmav226]

So why does my radiator make crazy noises cling clang!!!!

[@aarone9000]

As the metal expands; [at the molecular level] the spaces in- between pop and click against each other. that move it causes what we might think of as miniature earthquakes within the metal.
