Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Steam Generation Vessel

Definition

The Steam Generation Vessel is a core component of the Modular Industrial Steam Generation System for Process Applications. It is responsible for converting water into steam through controlled heat exchange, serving as the primary steam production unit within the system. The vessel ensures consistent steam output for various industrial processes, operating under carefully managed pressure and temperature conditions.

Constructed from carbon steel or stainless steel, the vessel is designed to withstand specified design pressures and temperatures. According to the technical file, the design pressure ranges from 1.0 to 1.6 MPa, with a note that below 1.0 MPa steam generation is insufficient. The design temperature ranges from 180 to 200 °C, corresponding to the saturation temperature at the design pressure. The steam capacity is between 500 and 2000 kg/h, depending on heat input and vessel size. The water volume ranges from 0.5 to 5 m³, affecting response time and safety. The heat transfer area is between 10 and 50 m², determining steam output. Shell thickness varies from 8 to 20 mm, based on pressure and material. The material grade listed is Q345R for carbon steel, suitable for moderate pressure applications. Overall dimensions range from 2000 to 6000 mm (diameter × length), varying with capacity. The weight ranges from 1000 to 5000 kg, increasing with size and thickness. Efficiency is between 85% and 92%, with higher values achievable when an economizer is used. The noise level is ≤85 dB(A) at 1 m distance, measured according to ISO 3744.

These parameters are directory reference ranges and must be confirmed for the actual model and application. The vessel is designed in accordance with GB/T 150, and the material grade follows GB/T 713. It is essential to verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement or use.

Working Principle

Water is contained within the vessel and heated by an external heat source, such as combustion gases from a burner or thermal fluid. The heat transfer causes the water to reach boiling point and generate steam, which is then collected and distributed for industrial use. Pressure and temperature are carefully controlled to maintain efficient steam production. The vessel's design ensures that the heat exchange area and water volume are optimized for the required steam capacity, while the shell thickness and material grade provide structural integrity under operating conditions.
