The TLV FV-200 is a carbon steel condensate flash vessel designed to provide a simple and efficient method to make use of flash steam in the condensate recovery system. It is utilized for the recovery and economic recycling of flash steam from high-pressure steam-using equipment. The vessel features low flow velocities for optimal steam quality and is designed in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. The FV series also includes the larger FV-300 and FV-400 models.

An optional complete flash recovery system is available, including all necessary valves to control and safeguard the condensate line (consult TLV for details).

Capacity Chart

Example 1

5,500 kg/h condensate from a 5 barg steam consumer should be expanded to 2 barg. Approx. 277 kg/h flash steam is generated. A suitable condensate flash vessel must be selected. Move from the 5,500 kg/h condensate volume horizontally to the right and from the 277 kg/h flash steam volume vertically upwards. Since the point of intersection is within the area of the FV-300, the flash vessel FV-300 must be selected.

Example 2

With a condensate quantity of 11,000 kg/h, the pressure should be reduced from 12 barg to 2 barg. This produces approx. 1,286 kg/h of flash steam. A suitable condensate flash vessel must be selected. Move from the 11,000 kg/h condensate volume horizontally to the right and from the 1,286 kg/h flash steam volume vertically upwards. Since the point of intersection B is within the area of the FV-400, the flash vessel FV-400 must be selected.
