What is a steam pressure matcher? ? ? ? Are there any pictures?

I saw a news report: The installation and commissioning of Maoming Petrochemical’s first steam pressure matcher have been completed, and it has been put into use on turbine No. 3 in the CFB boiler unit in the refining area. At the beginning of this year, after the 2.6 million tons per year slurry bed unit came online, it generated low-pressure steam as a by-product, which reduced the amount of low-pressure steam supplied from the CFB boilers in the refining area to the rest of the plant. During summer operations, more than 20 tons of low-pressure steam were wasted each hour, resulting in energy loss. The thermoelectric division proposed installing steam pressure matchers in the boiler system in order to increase the amount of excess low-pressure steam available, thereby preventing the discharge of low-pressure steam. This reduces steam waste and increases the power generation capacity of the turbine, further lowering the energy consumption of the CFB boiler system. At present, the first set of steam pressure matchers is operating properly, capable of converting approximately 12 tons of high- and low-pressure steam into medium-pressure steam per hour. Next, based on the analysis and evaluation of the performance of this matcher, they will install another steam pressure matcher on each of turbines No. 1 and No. 2 in order to further improve energy efficiency.

The name given to it is just fancy; it’s essentially a mixer that combines high-pressure gas with low-pressure gas to produce medium-pressure gas whose pressure is lower than that of the high-pressure gas. It functions similarly to a pressure regulator, only in this case it replaces high-temperature water with low-pressure gas. Pure gimmick.
