desuperheater / for steam

Water bath desuperheaters are used if processes have to be heated
with saturated steam, but where only superheated steam is
available which must be desuperheated to saturated steam temperature.
This is not possible with steam converting valves or injection
desuperheaters, since it is possible to desuperheat only
down to approx. 5 °C above saturated steam temperature with
these. If the pressure of the available steam is too high or an adjustable
saturated steam pressure is required, the water bath desuperheater
can be designed in addition with pressure control.
Processes which are heated with saturated steam frequently require
only small quantities of steam, but with delivery fluctuations
between 0 and 100 %. Here the water bath desuperheater is
ideally suitable, since it guarantees perfect desuperheating over
the entire load range.
