Abstract: An apparatus for drying and superheating steam, especially for supplying steam to a turbine. The apparatus includes a horizontal cylindrical pressure tank that has at least one steam inlet, a water separator that is disposed in the lower portion of the pressure tank and extends essentially over the entire length of the tank, a superheater that is disposed in the upper portion of the pressure tank and extends essentially over the entire length of the tank, and at least one steam outlet disposed on the upper side of the tank and connected to the superheater. The steam inlet is disposed at one end face of the pressure tank. Drying steam leaves the water separator, one end of which is supplied with wet steam, and enters the pressure tank.

Abstract: An apparatus for drying wet steam and subsequently superheating the dried steam. The apparatus includes a cylindrical tank, a separator that is disposed in the tank for receiving wet steam and removing water therefrom, and a superheater disposed in the tank for receiving dry steam from the separator. The superheater is provided with a plurality of tube bundles, some of which are part of first superheater stage, and the rest are part of a second superheater stage. The tube bundles form a channel in the center of the tank. Outwardly disposed deflectors are disposed in, and extend in the longitudinal direction of, the tank. These deflectors are associated with the tube bundles in such a way that dry steam from the separator flows, from the outside, inwardly through the tube bundles of the first superheater stage, and into the central channel, and from there, from the inside, outwardly through the tube bundles of the second superheater stage.

Abstract: A tank containing a water separator composed of bundles of laminations for drying wet vapor, and a superheater for subsequent superheating of the dried vapor. The water separator is coaxially disposed ahead of the superheater in the horizontal-cylindrical tank, which has at least one vapor inlet and one vapor outlet. The superheater includes tube bundles which are uniformly disposed about the central axis of the tank, and can vary in number and type of construction. In the direction of the central axis of the tank, the water separator has the shape of a truncated pyramid or cone. The vapor discharge surfaces of the bundles of laminations, within the water separator, are disposed symmetrically, vertically, and in tiers relative to the central axis of the tank, and are disposed at an angle of between 10.degree. and 170.degree. thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus for drying wet steam and subsequently superheating the dried steam, which comprises an upright cylindrical container with a coarse separator in the bottom region of the container and with an axially upwardly following fine separator. Arranged within the container in the axially upward direction of the fine separator is a passage around which there are located superheating elements which are parallel to the axis of the container and extend nearly up to the upper bottom of the container.
