PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steam system using a steam engine for driving an air compressor while controlling it in consideration of not only the load of compressed air used but also the load of steam used. SOLUTION: The steam engine 2 using steam to generate power drives the air compressor 3. The steam is supplied to the steam engine 2 through a steam supply path 8 and discharged through a steam discharge path 11. Steam from the steam engine 2 is supplied to a steam using device through a steam header 12. A pressure sensor 16 is provided in the steam header 12 for monitoring the load of the steam used. Compressed air from the air compressor 3 is supplied to compressed-air-using devices through a compressed air passage 17. The load of the compressed air used is monitored by a pressure sensor 18 provided in the compressed air passage 17. Steam supply to the steam engine 2 is controlled based on the load of the steam used and the load of the compressed air used. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
