Flash Vessels

Valveforce believes Flash Vessels are at the heart of any energy recovery system.

Flash balloons are most often installed in the boiler room for the recovery of deconcentration energy or on the condensate network for condensate energy recovery.

When hot condensate drops in pressure as it passes through a steam trap. As a result a proportion runs off into steam. Therefore mixture of steam and condensate can be separated in a flash vessel. Consequently flash vessels can turn steam into useful low pressure steam and condensate. For energy recovery, the flash balloon uses the physics principles of flash steam. Because of the principle of operation of the flash ball it has the potential to recover almost 80% of the energy. Therefore by using a flash vessel to collect the waste steam from the condensate it is possible to supply steam to a small process for example hot water production or preheating of a battery or tarpaulin.

Advantages:

Free energy

Efficient separation of the flash steam from the blowdown prevents contamination of the boiler feedtank

Above all reducing costs in your boiler house and enhancing your energy recovery system.
