steam accumulator

A well insulated modern steam accumulator can preserve pressure over many hours.

However, early experiments with these steam accumulator locomotives had failed.

Steam accumulators may take on a significance for energy storage in solar thermal energy projects.

The German Wikipedia has a list of steam accumulator locomotives preserved in that country.

This steam table shows the relationship between pressure and temperature in a boiler or steam accumulator:

A steam accumulator is an insulated steel pressure tank containing hot water and steam under pressure.

The heating plant: at the ground floor on via della Ghiacciaia, with two technical rooms, one for the ashes and one for the steam accumulators.

A fireless steam locomotive is similar to a conventional steam locomotive, but has a reservoir, known as a steam accumulator, instead of a boiler.

Examples of accumulators include steam accumulators, mainsprings, flywheel energy storage, hydraulic accumulators, rechargeable batteries, capacitors, compensated pulsed alternators (compulsators), and pumped-storage hydroelectric plants.

All I got out of it was where to find an ashpan drop-bottom, steam accumulators and why they are still used, and the ability to recognize a three-cylinder locomotive by sound alone.' '

In a fireless locomotive the boiler is replaced by a steam accumulator which is charged with steam (actually water at high temperature well above the boiling point, 212 F/100 C) from a stationary boiler.

Results to date have been very positive, and it is anticipated that, by the end of 2007, following the successful completion of these tests, the Company's steam accumulator will be fitted into a Mazda RX8 and will be road-tested.
