Super Heater

Introduction
We manufacture Super heater coils in various grades of Alloy steel T1, T9, T11, T22, T9 & T91, BS: 3059 320/360 PT l/llnd in stain less steel tubes SS 304, SS310, SS316 and SS 347H with or without support & Header as per customer’s drawing and specifications. as per I.B.R. 1950. A super heater is a crucial component in a boiler system designed to increase the temperature of saturated steam to achieve higher energy efficiency and performance.Super heaters are typically installed in the convective or radiant heat transfer zones of the boiler, downstream of the primary heating surfaces such as the combustion chamber, furnace, and boiler tubes.

Super Heater Features

  • Convective Super Heater: Located in the convective zone of the boiler, convective super heaters absorb heat from the hot flue gases passing through the boiler tubes. They typically consist of multiple tubes arranged in banks or stages
  • Radiant Superheater: Positioned in the radiant zone of the boiler, radiant superheaters absorb heat directly from the combustion flame or hot gases. They are often installed in the furnace area and are exposed to high-temperature radiation.
  • Super heater tubes are typically made of high-grade alloy steels or heat-resistant alloys capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures. The tubes may be straight or bent into various configurations such as U-shaped, serpentine, or spiral coils to maximize surface area for heat transfer and accommodate thermal expansion.
  • Super heaters are designed to ensure uniform heating of steam across the entire length of the tubes, minimizing temperature variations and ensuring consistent steam quality.Superheaters are supported within the boiler by hangers, supports, or headers to maintain alignment and stability during operation.
  • Regular inspection and maintenance of super heaters are essential to ensure their reliable and safe operation. Inspections may include visual examinations, non-destructive testing (NDT), and thickness measurements to detect signs of corrosion, erosion, or tube degradation.
  • Cleaning of super heater tubes may be required periodically to remove ash, soot, or other deposits that can reduce heat transfer efficiency and increase tube temperature. The temperature of the superheated steam is controlled by regulating the flow of flue gases, adjusting the fuel input, or controlling the steam flow rate through the super heater.
  •  Superheating steam increases its energy content, improving the efficiency of downstream processes such as turbines, engines, and heating systems. Superheated steam has a lower moisture content compared to saturated steam, reducing the risk of water droplets causing erosion or damage to equipment.
  • Superheated steam offers better heat transfer characteristics, faster response times, and higher thermal efficiency compared to saturated steam. Super heaters can be designed and optimized for specific applications, operating conditions, and steam parameters to meet the requirements of diverse industries and processes.
