Spirax-Sarco Flash Tanks

Spirax-Sarco flash tanks' design is free-draining which is essential in boiler blow down applications where efficient separation of the flash steam from the blow down is essential to prevent contamination of the boiler feed tank and/or heat transfer surfaces. Spirax-Sarco flash tanks are also well suited to condensate flash steam applications. They have a low separation velocity to produce drier steam. Flash steam, which is formed when a portion of the high pressure condensate discharged from a steam trap re-evaporates, is separated from the condensate and piped away from the top of the tank. The remaining condensate drains from the bottom of the vessel to a stream trap. The flash is usually added to the low-pressure steam system.
