Vertical Flash Steam Recovery Vessels

The WFLV Series Flash tanks are installed in condensate return systems to separate off flash steam from hot condensate and neutralize pressure in condensate return lines. The flash steam may be used for low pressure heating applications or vented to atmosphere.

When steam condenses in a piping system or Heat Exchange the temperature of the Hot Condensate is the same temperature as the steam. The temperature of 100 PSI steam is 338 ºF therefore the condensate being formed and discharging thru the steam trap into the condensate return line will also be 338 ºF. When this condensate enters a flash tank at a lower pressure a certain percent of it will flash off into steam.
