When steam demand from the plant is low, and the boiler is capable of generating more steam than is required, the surplus steam is injected into a mass of water stored under pressure. Over a period of time the stored water content will increase in temperature and pressure until it finally achieves the saturation temperature for the pressure at which the boiler is operating.

The steam distribution system can also be supplemented with a steam accumulator, which in fact is a hot water accumulator because it is hot water stored. With the help of a steam accumulator, the boilers can operate at a more even load, which is advantageous from an efficiency perspective.
