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.

What is a steam storage system?

These units have been around for years but are often overlooked during system design. These vessels act as a steam storage system that can release steam when demand is greater than the boiler’s production capacity and to receive steam when the demand is lower than what the boilers are producing.

How much does a storage tank cost?

Storage tank costs are tabulated in this data-file, averaging $100-300/m3 for storage systems of 10-10,000 m3 capacity. Costs are 2-10x higher for corrosive chemicals, cryogenic storage, or very large/small storage facilities. Some rules of thumb are outlined below with underlying data available in the Excel.

What is the water level of a steam tank?

The water level would typically be between 50 and 100%. Steam is charged into the vessel during the charging stage using steam injectors below the surface of the water. The water in the vessel takes up the latent heat from the steam thus condensing it back into water.

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 diameter of a steam accumulator?

Typically the ratio of diameter to total length is between 1.4 to 1.6, but this can vary substantially depending on site conditions. Steam accumulators are generally cylindrical in form with elliptical ends, as this is structurally the most effective shape. They will be manufactured from boiler plate.
