De-Superheaters

Pipeline Desuperheaters provide a convenient method of reducing superheated steam or other vapours to temperatures approaching saturation. The superheated vapour is passed through a section of the pipe which is fitted with a spray nozzle that produces dispersed droplets, from a supply of pressurised condensate.

These fine particles promote almost immediate evaporation. The required heat is being absorbed from the superheated vapour, thus reducing the temperatures.
