Does steam storage meet peak load demands?

A complete overview of the need for steam storage to meet peak load demands in specific industries, including the design, construction and operation of a steam accumulator, with calculations.

How should a steam accumulator be discharged?

As with all safety valve installations, the discharge should be to a safe area through an adequately sized vent pipe, which is properly drained. When the steam accumulator starts from cold, the steam space is full of air.

What is the storage capacity of 2 797 kg steam accumulator?

It can be seen that the storage capacity of 2 797 kg is greater than the storage required of 2 650 kg of steam. If the steam accumulator will be charged at 10 bar g by the boiler, and discharged at 6 bar g to the plant, the proportion of flash steam can be calculated as follows:

How much water is needed for steam storage?

Boiler: Maximum continuous rating = 5 000 kg/h Normal working pressure = 10 bar g Accumulator: Mass of water required for steam storage = 65 920 kg (fully charged and 90% of vessel volume) P1 (boiler pressure) = 10 bar g (fully charged) P2 (discharge pressure) = 6 bar g (fully discharged)

Why is wet steam being exported from a packaged boiler?

At times of peak demand this may mean that wet steam is being exported from the modern packaged boiler, and possibly at a lower pressure than that which it was designed to operate - Covered in Module 3.12 ‘Controlling TDS in the Boiler Water’.
