Description
A steam accumulator is, essentially, an extension of the energy storage capacity of the boiler(s). When steam demand from the plant is low, and the boiler is capable of generating more steam than is required, the surplus steam is injected into a mass of water stored under pressure
Accumulator is a pressure vessel for storing hydraulic pressure in it utilizing compressible and decompressible nature of nitrogen gas. So, it can be said that the accumulator has a similar function to the rechargeable electrical battery.
In electricity, electrical energy is stored to the battery. On the other hand, in the hydraulic field, fluid energy (pressure of the fluid) is stored in an accumulator and is discharged when required.
