Achieve Optimal Steam Temperature with Our Steam Desuperheaters

Desuperheaters play a crucial role in managing the temperature of steam in various industrial processes. Engineers often face the challenge of controlling the temperature of superheated steam, preventing potential damage to downstream equipment.  S&K offers a large line of Desuperheaters used to improve heat transfer; the reduction and control of superheated steam; to control superheat temperatures at partial loads; to maintain balance between process steam and power requirements, and when balancing or make-up steam is required in reduced pressure systems.  Fill out the form on this page for a quote customized to your specific application requirements.

Desuperheaters play a crucial role in reducing gas temperature, with the most common application being the reduction of temperature in a steam line through direct contact and evaporation of water. Schutte & Koerting offers a range of steam desuperheaters designed to address specific needs and operating conditions.

Venturi Desuperheater

The Venturi Desuperheater reduces steam temperature by bringing superheated steam into direct contact with water, usually used in areas where atomizing steam is not available.

Annular Venturi Desuperheater

The Annular Venturi Desuperheater, on the other hand, offers high turndown ratios and is suitable for a wide range of conditions, including steady and variable flow applications.

Annular Venturi Orifice Desuperheater

The Annular Venturi Orifice Desuperheater eliminates the accumulation of unvaporized water in pipelines and provides increased turndown capacity.

Attemperator Desuperheater

The Attemperator Desuperheater is ideal for steady load conditions where pressure losses need to be minimized, offering increased turndown when mounted vertically.

Steam Ejector Atomizing Desuperheater

A steam ejector, atomizing unit with water re-cycle arrangement for applications where combined reducing-desuperheating station is required and flows vary widely.

Mechanical Atomizing Desuperheater

Specifically designed to desuperheat high steam flows in large steam lines, consisting of body, spray shield, and nozzle assembly.

Surface Absorption Desuperheater

Designed to reduce steam temperature by bringing it into contact with wetted metal reaction rings. Generally used where space limitations are a factor and requirements of minimum water carryover exist.

S&K Desuperheaters reduce the temperature of superheated steam to produce lower temperatures in a wide range of applications. Our desuperheaters are manufactured from a variety of metals or alloy as requested. Standard construction is carbon steel for temperatures below 800 degrees F, chrome molybdenum steel for temperatures above 800 degrees F.

Our range of desuperheaters, including the Venturi Desuperheater, Attemperator Desuperheater, Annular Venturi Desuperheater, Steam Ejector Atomizing Desuperheater, Mechanical Atomizing Desuperheater, and Surface Absorption Desuperheater, cover a wide range of applications and are custom-engineered to customer requirements.

Although requirements for desuperheaters cover a wide range of applications, the great majority fall  into  the following standard installations:

  • Power plant requirements for desuperheated steam supplying units having limited operating temperatures such as auxiliaries, heating systems, heat exchangers and, more recently, dump stations.
  • To improve heat transfer of surface-type heat exchangers.
  • Reduction and control of superheated steam, where excess temperatures will harm the product.
  • Used on boilers, either between superheater stages or at boiler exit, to control superheat temperatures at partial loads.
  • Use as bypass of bleeder or back pressure turbines to maintain balance between process steam and power requirements.
  • Miscellaneous applications where balancing or makeup steam is required in reduced pressure systems in refineries and process plants.
