10mm for the diameter of the steam outlet tube c is enough ?? I was thinking of putting a 16 or 18mm, is it too big?
The answer will be easier with a dimensioned drawing ....
For the 10 mm at the outlet, if the tube is relatively short (<500 mm?) This should work.
If the tube is "too" long in 10mm, the pressure drop becomes "too" important ... this could start to limit the flow.
With a larger diameter it brakes less but condenses more. A compromise must be found.
If the tube has a "too" large diameter, this increases the cooling surface area and therefore the condensation.
and the risk of big drops ...
Optimizing the length, diameter, material and insulation of the steam pipes is an essential step in Gillier Pantone.
To know what you are doing, you would have to measure the temperature as close as possible to where it leads to the intake.
In all cases, thermally insulating the steam outlet tube improves the flow of steam.
Get by, that in the course of your steam pipes, there can not be a low point (siphon) that can fill with condensation water.
Otherwise, during good acceleration / braking / turning you can swallow a good swig of the fleet ....
