Abstract
The present investigation was carried out in the force area of a hospital, whose main activity is the production of steam for the different areas such as the laundry and the kitchen; the condensate recovery system is studied. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate a Flash Tank to reuse the condensate, hoping to obtain an increase in the thermal efficiency of the process, also achieving a saving in fuel consumption and the economic decrease in the billing of the same; besides reducing the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere; because steam production nowadays is a very valuable resource for any industry. It is evident that when implementing the Flash Tank to the condensate recovery system, it will be possible to improve the Technical Energetic Indicator by 3.86% and the Economic Energetic Indicator by 4%, as well as by reducing 234 gallons of B2 diesel per year equivalent to 3.86%, in addition to obtaining savings in fuel consumption equivalent to $ 696.64 dollars in the next 12 months.
