A steam accumulator is a device that can store steam energy and is usually used in steam power systems in industrial fields. It is able to provide additional energy when needed by storing excess heat energy and converting it into steam and pressure.
A steam accumulator usually consists of one or more containers filled with steam and water. As the system’s heaters generate more steam, the steam is sent to the accumulator tank. When the system requires additional energy, the steam and water in the accumulator tank are released to generate additional energy.
1.Improved energy efficiency: The steam accumulator can store excess energy to provide additional energy when needed, thereby improving energy efficiency.
2.Balancing heat demand: Steam accumulators can balance heat demand, ensuring smooth operation of the system between peak and off-peak periods.
3. Reduced energy waste: A steam accumulator reduces energy waste because it converts excess heat energy into steam and pressure to provide additional energy when needed.
