Desuperheater Promotes Rapid Water Absorption

July 21, 2009
Pick Heaters has released its newest product, the Pick Desuperheater Series DS.  The water spray design offers a simple, cost effective method of desuperheating steam.  With the nozzle positioned at the center of the desuperheater, water is sprayed axially, in the direction of the steam flow.  A conical insert with thermal sleeve increases velocity to promote rapid absorption of water, while isolating the housing from thermal stress.The Pick Desuperheater is intended for use on applications having relatively stable steam demand, typically within a 2:1 or 3:1 turndown ratio.  Because of its easy installation, low pressure drop, and no moving parts, it is the perfect choice for desuperheating applications meeting this description.  Pick Heaters offers the desuperheater in a variety of materials and pressure ratings and can provide it complete with cooling water valve and temperature control instrumentation.
