What are the key considerations for designing two-pipe steam systems radiator connections?

When designing two-pipe steam systems radiator connections, it’s essential to consider the steam supply and condensate return piping, as well as the radiator’s steam inlet and outlet connections. Properly sizing the pipes and ensuring correct pipe orientation are critical to prevent water hammer, noise, and inefficient heat transfer. Additionally, the steam trap installation should be carefully planned to ensure proper condensate removal and minimize steam loss.
