Steam flow meters on an industriai process line recorded maximum flow rates of 57,900 lb per hr for cycles of 15 see duration. To keep this fluctuation off the boilers and allow them to steam evenly at an average rate of 7500 lb per hr, a Ruths steam accumulator was installed, working between 45 and 35 psigA water surface area, ofsufficient size to limit rate of steam disengagement to 1 cuft per sec per sq it, wasconsidered necessary to insure dry steam production. Fin suitable dimensions for the accumulator tank (ie., dia. X length). Note: As actually installed the tank was 6' dia. X 24' long.
