How to Superheat Steam
- 1). Start the saturated steam boiler and produce steam at a certain temperature and pressure.
- 2). Start the superheated steam generator which is a unit that will add more heat into the saturated steam. Open the block valves connecting the boiler and the superheated steam generator.
- 3). Operate the superheated steam generator to a temperature that is 50-100 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the saturated steam temperature. Note that as the superheat is applied to the saturated steam, the volume occupied by the steam increases.
