Steam accumulator

How does a steam accumulator work?

The steam accumulator is designed with a large water surface and sufficient steam space in order to produce high quality steam almost instantaneously during periods of peak demand. In the case of some vertical steam accumulators the steam space is enlarged to compensate for the smaller water surface. Water

What is a stork steam accumulator?

optimal solution. A Stork Steam Accumulator can accept superheated and saturated steam as well as hot water as a heat source and supply both when demand UMULATOR SOLUTIONSStork Thermeq can open up the possibility to provide a highly optimized integrated solutions packag

How does an expansion type steam accumulator work?

Operation of the expansion type steam accumulator The expansion tank is refilled by simultaneous injection of saturated or superheated steam and hot water until the entire volume is filled except for a small volume of saturated steam at the top of the vessel. Alternatively, hot pressurized water can be injected into the vessel.

What are the benefits of steam accumulators?

Steam accumulators offer several significant benefits: Load Balancing: They help smooth out fluctuations in steam demand, providing a consistent steam supply and reducing strain on the boiler. Energy Efficiency: By storing excess steam, they prevent energy waste, making the system more efficient.

How clean is a steam accumulator?

When correctly designed and operated, steam from a steam accumulator is always clean, and has a dryness fraction quite close to 1. The steam accumulator is designed with a large water surface and sufficient steam space in order to produce high quality steam almost instantaneously during periods of peak demand.

What is water in a steam accumulator?

Water Water in the steam accumulator is steam that has condensed and is therefore clean and pure, with a typical TDS level of 20 - 100 ppm (compared with a shell boiler TDS of seldom less than 2 000 ppm) which promotes a clean and comparatively stable water surface.
