How is the size of a boiler’s steam distribution cylinder determined? Thank you to all the experts
Personal suggestion: Steam distributors are used solely to separate or combine steam; as long as the flow rate of the steam within them is not too low or too high, which depends on the design pressure of the distributor.
The flow velocity in the steam pipes is generally 40 m/s, while the flow velocity at the cross-section of the steam distribution cylinder is around 8–12 m/s; in other words, the steam’s speed decreases by a factor of 3–5 in the steam distribution cylinder. The length of the steam cylinder is determined by the number of nozzles.
