Design issues of steam buffer tanks

Thread Content

What I want to create is a steam buffer tank. I have a question regarding design: This tank is mainly used to stabilize the steam flow, and it will be used later for hot water tower experiments. Since it is a pilot-scale experiment, the equipment is not large. Electric steam boiler: 18KW, maximum flow rate 24KG/H. The actual flow rate in use is approximately 8-15 KG/H. The pressure of the electric steam boiler is adjustable; we are currently using 0.4 MPA. The electric steam boiler automatically shuts down when the pressure drops by 0.05 MPa, which results in very unstable steam flow. In practical operation, due to issues with the electric steam boiler itself, the amount of steam produced may not reach 4 kilograms; it might be around 2 kilograms instead. Now consider adding a steam buffer tank. I would like to ask the experts: How is the volume of a steam buffer tank determined? ? ! Thank you! ! !
