1) 1 bar abs = 0 bar gauge = atmospheric pressure

 Vacuum steam is the general term used for saturated steam at temperatures below 100°C.
Example - Boiling Water at 100 oC, 0 bar Atmospheric Pressure
At atmospheric pressure (0 bar g, absolute 1 bar ) water boils at 100 oC and 417.51 kJ of energy is
required to heat 1 kg of water from 0 oC to evaporating temperature 100 oC.
 Therefore the specific enthalpy of water at 0 bar g (absolute 1 bar ) and 100 oC is 417.51 kJ/kg.

Another 2257.92 kJ of energy is required to evaporate 1 kg of water at 100 oC into 1 kg of steam at 100
oC. Therefore at 0 bar g (absolute 1 bar) the specific enthalpy of vaporation is 2257.19 kJ/kg.

The total specific enthalpy for steam at 0 bar gauge is:

hs = (417.51 kJ/kg) + (2257.92 kJ/kg)

= 2675.43 kJ/kg

Example - Boiling Water at 170 oC and 7 bar Atmospheric Pressure

At 7 bar g (absolute 8 bar) the saturation temperature of water is 170.42 oC. More heat energy is
required to raise its temperature to saturation point at 7 bar g than needed when the water is at
atmospheric pressure. According the table 720.94 kJ is required to raise 1 kg of water from 0 oC to
saturation temperature 170 oC.

The heat energy (enthalpy of evaporation) needed at 7 bar g to vaporize the water to steam is actually
less than required at atmospheric pressure. The specific enthalpy of vaporization decreases with steam
pressure. The evaporation heat is 2046.53 kJ/kg at 7 bar g.

 Note! The specific volume of steam decreases with increased pressure - and the amount of heat
energy distributed by the same volume increase. With higher pressure - more energy can be
transferred in a steam distribution system.
