Abstract: A desuperheater includes a ring body defining an axial flow path and one or more spray nozzle assemblies around the ring body. Each spray nozzle assembly is connected to a separate water manifold and steam manifold to provide cooling water and atomizing steam through the spray nozzle assemblies. A nozzle sleeve of each spray nozzle assembly has a solid, unitary body having first, second, and third fluid passages formed through the body. The first fluid passage is in fluid communication with the water manifold and with a first exit aperture formed in a second end of the body. The second fluid passage is in fluid communication with the steam manifold and with a second exit aperture formed in the second end of the body. The third fluid passage is in fluid communication with the steam manifold and with a third exit aperture formed in the second end of the body. The second and third exit apertures are positioned on opposite sides of the first exit aperture.

Abstract: A spray nozzle assembly has a housing with a body and cap flange secure to the body to define a bore within the housing. A first aperture is formed through the body and intersects the bore and a second aperture is formed through the cap flange and intersects the bore. A nozzle sleeve is disposed within the bore and has a solid, unitary sleeve body. First and second fluid passages are formed through the sleeve body. The first fluid passage is in fluid communication with the first aperture and a first exit aperture in an end of the sleeve body. The second fluid passage is in fluid communication with the second aperture and second and third exit apertures in the end of the sleeve body, which are positioned on opposite sides of the first exit aperture. A portion of the second fluid passage surrounds the first fluid passage.
