Blowdown Vessel
Blowdown vessel
The blowdown vessel cools hot blowdown and condensate water down to a permissible discharge temperature by admixing cold water. This protects pipework and the sewer system and keeps to the usually permissible discharge temperature of no more than 35 °C.

Frequently asked questions
What can be fed into the blowdown vessel?
Condensate and blowdown water are usually fed into the blowdown vessel.
Is the blowdown vessel pressurised?
No, the blowdown vessel is unpressurised and has a vapour vent.
Is the wastewater from the blowdown vessel subject to special disposal requirements?
As a rule the water can be discharged into the foul sewer without special treatment, provided the local discharge conditions are met. The decisive factors are mainly the temperature (usually ≤ 35 °C), an acceptable pH value (typically 6.5–10) and the absence of substances hazardous to water. As steam condensate and cooling water are normally clean water, no special disposal requirements usually arise. The specific limits can differ depending on the local wastewater authority and should be checked case by case.
Does the blowdown vessel need an electrical connection?
No, the blowdown vessel works purely mechanically. Temperature is controlled by a thermostatic mixing valve. The hot condensate is automatically blended with cold water until the set outlet temperature is reached.
