Steam Systems VI: Recovering Energy from Flash Steam

In this series of courses on steam systems we have reviewed a number of key success factors for efficient operation of steam systems, including correct boiler sizing, selection of working pressure and pipe sizing, metering of steam, and removal of condensate. Flash steam is another essential topic for the efficient management of steam. This course will discuss how flash steam recovery contributes to energy efficiency, how to identify how much flash steam is available and discuss ways to recover that steam.
