What is a potential result of a condensate receiver that is too small?

A condensate receiver that is too small can lead to a situation where the volume of condensate produced exceeds the capacity of the receiver. As a result, the condensate cannot be stored properly and may overflow. This overflow can lead to the loss of condensate, which can end up being discharged to the sewer. This is detrimental as it not only represents a waste of water and energy but can also complicate water management within the system and increase overall operational costs.

Additionally, having insufficient capacity in the condensate receiver could affect the system’s efficiency, possibly leading to issues like increased demand for makeup water or working pressure variations. Thus, while other results could be logically connected to the performance of the system, the most direct and immediate consequence of a too-small condensate receiver is the loss of condensate.
