Steam storage tank and boiler

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 boiler accumulator work?

The accumulator allows the steam boiler plant to operate under steady state load conditions by storing steam at times of low steam consumption, and releasing it to meet peak demands (in this case when the autoclaves are switched on). The accumulator itself consists of a cylindrical vessel partially filled with water.

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.

What is a steam boiler & how does it work?

Maximum production and hence profitability can only be achieved if they are given the attention they deserve. Steam systems can be broken down into three sections:- The function of a steam boiler is to reliably deliver dry saturated steam at the desired quantity and pressure, not a mixture of steam and 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

What are steam accumulators used for?

Steam accumulators are also starting to be used on concentrated solar power plants, allowing power production at night time. Steam accumulators have been around for many years, indeed many early steam accumulators were converted boilers which were used for their water storage capacity rather than their firing ability.
