Steam Drum

A steam drum is a critical component of water-tube boilers, serving as a reservoir for water and steam. It separates steam from water, ensuring the delivery of dry steam to downstream components like superheaters and turbines. Steam drums also facilitate water circulation within the boiler and act as a storage unit to manage fluctuations in steam demand. They are typically made from thick steel plates to withstand high pressures and temperatures.
