Question:
A boiler house produces a large excess of low-pressure [50(psig), 5(°F)-superheat] steam. An upgrade is proposed that would first run the low-pressure steam through an adiabatic steady-flow compressor, producing medium-pressure [150(psig)] steam A young engineer expresses concern that compression could result in the formation of liquid water, damaging the compressor. Is there cause for concern?
