Flash steam is a process that occurs when high-pressure water is suddenly released to a lower pressure environment. This rapid drop in pressure causes some of the water to instantly vaporize, creating steam. This phenomenon is commonly used in various industrial applications, such as in geothermal energy systems and power plants, where it helps in generating electricity. The steam produced from flash steam can be harnessed to drive turbines or for heating purposes. This method is efficient because it utilizes the energy from the water that would otherwise be wasted. Flash steam systems are often designed to maximize energy recovery and minimize environmental impact.
