DESUPERHEATING

The most practical way of reducing the superheat value of steam (or another gas) is by direct addition of water (or another condensate). To ensure temperature stability of the conditioned steam and to prevent thermal shock in downstream lines, the cooling water should ideally be fully atomized. There should be a correct mix of steam and water. Desuperheating can be accomplished with different types of equipment, each having its own specific technology. The application usually defines the requirement of desuperheater type.

PRODUCTS

Our present size range encompasses 1” up till 48” ‘in-line’ VENTURI style DESUPERHEATERS. In addition, we are able to effect construction of the units in any forged steel quality available, dependant upon the applicable design parameters and its intended use. Each VENTURI style ‘in-line’ unit is custom designed to suit its specific operating conditions.

Besides the VENTURI style DESUPERHEATER we can also supply MULTIPLE NOZZLE SPRAY (MNS) type DESUPERHEATERS equipped with an integrated water injection control valve, should process conditions demand it. These units are available in HEAVY DUTY (fully forged) and STANDARD DUTY (welded construction) execution and are available in a wide range of construction materials.
