Flash vessel

A flash vessel separates flash steam formed when hot condensate drops in pressure from the remaining liquid, providing separate steam and condensate outlets. The title does not establish dimensions, design pressure, or accessories. Inlet and flash pressures, condensate rate, drainage, and use of recovered steam require actual design.

Application and duty

Flash-steam separation for recovery in a system with defined pressure and load

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary

Steam trapping, pressure reduction, moisture separation and condensate recovery

Condensate load, operating pressure, back pressure, process-control method and venting requirements drive steam-equipment selection.
