The steam is stored temporarily; when it is needed, it is released from the steam outlet. Since I have not done this before, I lack experience. I would like to ask whether the tank should be empty inside or whether it needs to have some internal components
Steam storage tank; no internal components are required, insulation needs to be added...
Doesn’t it turn into water after a long time of steam? First, there needs to be an insulating layer on the outside. There’s no need to put anything inside.
In what situations are steam storage tanks used? Steam storage is theoretically feasible, but without a continuous supply of steam, the heat loss is too high; in that case it all turns into hot water. If there’s a continuous supply of steam, what’s the point of storing it? I’ve really never seen this before; it was quite enlightening

There are few steam storage tanks; generally, boilers have air storage tanks, also known as \"accumulators\". It serves the following purposes: First, when the user’s gas consumption changes, the gas storage tank helps to balance the load on the boiler, preventing large fluctuations in boiler pressure and ensuring a stable gas pressure for the user ； Secondly, when the steam demand from users is intermittent, the air storage tank can release steam instantly, eliminating the need for a boiler with a large capacity.
I agree with the idea from the 3rd floor; in general, a continuous supply of gas is required. Our factory is capable of manufacturing such containers – feel free to contact me.

There is no suitable overall layout; the structures are more or less similar. I have a vertical one here, and I plan to discuss it in more detail later.
