  • Patent number: 10634340
    Abstract: The dual chamber system has a source chamber and a receiver chamber. The source chamber generates a first steam in a first steam section, and the receiver chamber generates a second steam in a second steam section. The first steam is at a higher temperature than the second steam, and the first steam is at 100% quality. The first steam is injected into a mixing section of the receiver chamber to generate a condensed steam. A sensor or instrument can then be calibrated by the condensed steam. The measurement being taken with the sensor or instrument will have reliability and accuracy. The method includes generating the first steam, generating the second steam, injecting and mixing the first and second steam to form condensed steam at a metering point in the receiver chamber, and calibrating a sensor or instrument at the metering point.
