Steam Boiler System Surge Tank

A Steam Boiler System Surge Tank is a component of an industrial boiler system that helps to regulate and manage the pressure fluctuations within the system. It is typically used in large-scale steam boiler systems to prevent damage to the boiler and other equipment caused by sudden pressure surges or drops.

The surge tank acts as a buffer or reservoir for excess water or steam in the system. When the pressure in the boiler system exceeds a certain threshold, the excess water or steam is diverted into the surge tank, preventing any damage to the boiler or other components. Similarly, when the pressure drops below a certain level, the surge tank releases the stored water or steam back into the system to maintain the desired pressure.

In addition to regulating pressure, surge tanks also help to remove impurities and air bubbles from the water or steam in the system. This helps to improve the efficiency and performance of the boiler system.

Steam Boiler System Surge Tanks are classified under the supply class "Industrial Boilers" in the supply group "Furnace, Steam Plant, and Drying Equipment; and Nuclear Reactors." This classification is used to categorize and organize different types of equipment and supplies used in industrial settings, specifically related to boilers, furnaces, steam plants, drying equipment, and nuclear reactors.

Overall, the Steam Boiler System Surge Tank plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability and efficiency of an industrial boiler system by regulating pressure and removing impurities.
