Superheater

A superheater is a device found in steam boilers that is used to convert wet, saturated steam into dry steam. Superheaters are a very beneficial part of the steam cycle, because dry steam contains more thermal energy and increases the overall efficiency of the cycle. Not only that, dry steam also is less likely to condense within the cylinders of a reciprocating engine or the casing of a steam turbine. Boiler superheaters can be found in three varieties:

1.Radiant superheaters
2.Convection superheaters
3.Seperately fired superheaters.
