I would like to consult, when I already have an accumulator installed, how can I diagnose the recharge time of this one. I have sized an accumulator to supply for 10 minutes. It is 20m3, but in the quotation I have from ATTSU it does not mention any time limit to recharge it. I understand that it is based on the period where the demand is low but for an accumulator of this size and a boiler that can deliver 10,000 kgv/h is it ok to assume that the recharge time is about 15 minutes or less?
Another query if you can help me, the accumulator understands that it must lower the pressure inside to change phase and generate steam by means of valves or is there any programming with programmable logic?
And if you allow me another question, I have tried to analyze how to find the savings of this accumulator, at first I had related it to the fuel, that if my accumulator produced 4,000 kgv/h was equivalent to a certain amount of fuel (this was found from SCADA values of the company, when a boiler generated 4,000 a certain volume of GLP was consumed, then that was the savings GLPx $/GLP when the accumulator was operating.
Another analysis is if I have the boiler cycling per hour suppose that those cycling losses if decreased translates to accumulator savings.
Can you help me please, I do not have any experienced advisor on these issues.
