Title: Superheat Control and Steam Purity in High-Pressure Boilers
Abstract: Abstract The author discusses the problem of designing a high-pressure boiler to deliver steam at high temperatures. The problem becomes more difficult as the capacity increases since proper selection and maintenance of boiler materials, design of the separate boiler and furnace units, and maintenance of the latter becomes increasingly more difficult if superheat control and steam purity are to be maintained. The author analyzes these design features and points out the compromises necessary to meet varying operating conditions. He discusses superheater design, maintenance of heat-absorbing surfaces, boiler circulation, relation of furnace-exit temperatures to slagging and boiler performance, and safe metal temperatures in water-walls and superheaters.
