Cyclic Demand Steam Supply System
US Patent:
5080047, Jan 14, 1992
Filed:
Dec 31, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/636604
Inventors:
Charles L. Williams - Pocatello ID
Eddy A. Williams - Caldwell ID
Gary M. Vezzoso - Caldwell ID

International Classification:
F22B 3722
US Classification:
122 35
Abstract:
A steam system is disclosed having a steam boiler (14) designed to produce an adjustable supply of boiler steam and a steam accumulator (12) designed to supply all of the steam to steam load (66) as opposed to functioning as an auxiliary source to boiler (14). Steam accumulator (12) is a pressure vessel designed to function as a wet steam accumulator and sized to provide large quantities of steam in short bursts for a predetermined period of time to a sustained cyclic steam load (66) for a period of time sufficient to compensate for the time delays necessary to adjust the boiler steam produciton rate to equal changes in the average of the cyclic demand load. Accumulator (12) is formed of a pressurized vessel having a plurality of tubes (54) therein which are designed to have a sufficient heat transfer surface to transfer the majority of energy from boiler steam to the heated accumulator water (67) through conduction of heat through the tube heat transfer surfaces so that the majority of the boiler steam is actually condensed prior to being discharged into the heated accumulator water (67).

The United States of America, as represented by the United States Deparment of Energy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
702 85, 702194
Abstract:
An apparatus and method relating to screening radioactive waste are disclosed for ensuring that at least one calculated parameter for the measurement data of a sample falls within a range between an upper limit and a lower limit prior to the sample being packaged for disposal. The apparatus includes a radiation detector configured for detecting radioactivity and radionuclide content of the of the sample of radioactive waste and generating measurement data in response thereto, and a collimator including at least one aperture to direct a field of view of the radiation detector. The method includes measuring a radioactive content of a sample, and calculating one or more parameters from the radioactive content of the sample.
