What happens if a steam-heated storage tank is over setpoint?

When product temperatures vary above setpoint, the product can be damaged requiring disposal. Both outcomes can prove costly. Typical steam-heated storage tank layouts consist of low- to medium-pressure steam that is supplied from a steam header and passes through a heat exchanger installed inside (coil) or outside (wall jackets) of a tank.

What is an equal pressure storage tank?

In principle, the equal-pressure storage tank is an extension of the steam boiler. Boiling water is channelled from the boiler into the steam accumulator to charge the accumulator. If steam is required again, the equal-pressure storage tank returns the water to the boiler at a slightly lower temperature.

How does a steam storage tank save energy?

When steam is supplied, it condenses in the water contained in the storage tank, causing the water level to rise and creating excess pressure in the tank. Together with the tank insulation, this contributes to the energy conservation of the heat transfer medium.
