Hey thanks for the response, FacEngrPE. I understand the difference between a dry steam accumulator and a wet steam accumulator. My problem is not about having enough energy storage (volume) but how can I get a high enough evaporation rate from a wet steam accumulator without having to rely on...

Yes! It's a great article but it doesn't discuss anything about the situation where you need to maximize the water surface area but only require very little total water volume. This might be such a unique issue that there isn't really a market for such accumulators. As I mentioned you can solve...

Hello everyone, I'm looking at sizing a steam accumulator for an application that has very high instantaneous flowrates (1800 kg/hr) of saturated steam for ~ 15 seconds followed by no steam requirement for 35 minutes. Total steam flow is something like only 7.5 kg over that 15 s. This is...

Thanks for the responses. This is a lot of good information and will be very helpful!

I work for a company that is designing a novel process at a large scale but we are currently in the early stages of pilot-scale development. When thinking about the scale-up I am not sure at what point the system needs to be split into two plants. The process is very steam intensive and thus I...
