Venturi
Desuperheaters for fertilizer plants
Desuperheaters are typically used to reduce and condition the temperature of superheated steam in power plants, which is often used as an energy source for mechanical power generation in steam turbines. In plants that generate steam for both power generation, and process applications, the generated steam has to be diverted directly to the process side, for instance when the power demand drops or in case of an emergency. This could mean that because of low turbine loads either turbine exhaust steam will be too hot, or in case of emergency that the turbine bypass steam has a far too high temperature for the downstream process conditions.
