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 much steam should be stored?

Required steam storage = 5 300 kg/h However, steam is only required for 30 minutes every hour, so the steam storage required must be: The amount of water required to release 2 650 kg of steam is a function of the proportion of flash steam released due to the drop in pressure.

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:

What is a steam accumulator?

A steam accumulator in the steam system gives increased storage capacity. Proper design of the steam accumulator ensures that any flowrate can be catered for. There are no theoretical limits to the size of a steam accumulator, but of course practical considerations will impose restrictions.

How big should a steam accumulator be?

Therefore, the accumulator size of 7 metres long by 4 metres diameter provides sufficient capacity for this particular example. A suitably ranged pressure gauge is required to show the pressure within the steam accumulator. Ideally it should be marked to show: Minimum pressure (plant steam pressure). Maximum pressure (boiler steam pressure).

What is the maximum steaming rate from the accumulator?

The vessel capacity is larger at 87.9 m³, so the vessel satisfies this criterion. Using the vessel dimensions given earlier, the water surface area is approximately 20.53 m² when fully charged, at a volume of 90% of the vessel capacity. The maximum steaming rate from the accumulator is given as 5 300 kg/h, therefore:
