Abstract
An evaporator system for an industrial boiler is provided and includes a heat-transfer system for generating a water-steam mixture. At least one horizontal vessel is provided for the primary separation of water and steam. At least one vertical vessel is provided and contains a water level great enough to create the necessary pressure to force the separated water to flow back from the vertical vessel to the evaporator system. The horizontal vessel and the vertical vessel are connected to one another by a piping through which the separated wet steam is transported from the horizontal vessel to the vertical vessel. The horizontal vessel has a connection to a piping for receiving water. The vertical vessel has a connection to piping for extracting dried steam from the vertical vessel.
Claims4
An evaporator system for an industrial boiler, including a heat-transfer system for generating a water-steam mixture, comprising:
- at least one horizontal vessel for receiving water-steam mixture, wherein said horizontal vessel contains a minimum amount of water, a relatively small steam volume and internals for a primary separation of water and steam;
- at least one vertical vessel containing internals for drying wet steam to pre-determined values and containing a water level great enough to create a pressure to force the separated water to flow back from said vertical vessel to said evaporator system;
- means for connecting said horizontal vessel and said vertical vessel to one another for a transport of separated wet steam from said horizontal vessel to said vertical vessel;
- means for transporting water to said horizontal vessel;
- and
- means for extracting dried steam from said vertical vessel.
