Steam Heating Systems Basics hvacr

The video tutorial explains steam systems used in large buildings, focusing on how steam is generated, its properties, and how it distributes heat. It covers the dynamics of pressure and volume changes, the operation of a 2-pipe steam heating system, and the importance of managing condensate to prevent energy waste and system issues like steam hammer. The use of thermostatic radiator traps is highlighted as a solution to avoid mixing steam and condensate.
