When combined cycle plants are run at low loads, problems often arise with overspray from attemperators using traditional mechanical atomization. To address this issue, power plants can upgrade to ...
Desuperheaters—often called attemperators—in heat-recovery steam generators (HRSGs) are located between the primary and secondary superheaters and reheaters, and sometimes after the final stage of ...
The fundamental design principles and process for modern steam desuperheating, or the attemperation of superheated steam in the power generation industry, have been evolving since the early 1930s.
