HTW STEAM GENERATORS
Using the central HTW boilers for steam production is not
recommended. The HTW system is best used to produce steam
by locating steam generators at the point of need.
The steam generator (Fig. 125) is designed so that the
minimum water level covering the tubes takes up 60 percent or
less of the volume of the shell. The remaining 40 percent for
steam is sufficient to avoid water carry over. A water eliminator
at the steam exit removes most water from the steam.
Flash converters convert HTW to steam by reducing the
pressure. They are not satisfactory steam generators because
water is carried with the steam and control is less stable.
Control of a steam generator is simpler because pressure
changes are sensed immediately and corrections in valve position
are made quickly to maintain the desired steam pressure.
