Steam distributor with safety valve

In our series “Components, of a steam boiler plant and their function” we have already introduced you to the most diverse components. Today we will go into the operation of a steam distributor. This individual design with the associated steam boiler plant is currently under construction at our company. The basic task of a steam distributor is to distribute the steam coming from the boiler to the various consumers/consumers. Our tundish is supplied with process steam from no less than two steam boilers. The steam is fed in at a pressure of 13 bar via two DN 200 supply lines. The built-in safety valve ensures that the permissible operating pressure is not exceeded. The condensate produced is drained into the condensate line at the bottom of the distributor with the aid of a bimetallic steam trap. From there, it is returned to the feedwater tank. According to the customer’s specifications, the steam distributor in the first expansion stage will be equipped with a max. Operating pressure of 13 bar fed. After the reconstruction of the production in 1-2 years, the max. However, the operating pressure can be increased to 18 bar. Directly during the planning and design, our professionals from the tank construction have designed and calculated accordingly. Due to the high Product of nominal size and perm. Operating pressure (DN350 x 18 bar > 5000) had to be a Individual acceptance incl. Design review be carried out by a ZÜS. Of course, our experts have taken care of the necessary applications and the documentation procedure. Now the steam distributor can be assembled and insulated on site at the customer’s premises before it is put into operation.
