It integrates a Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) and desuperheater to regulate steam pressure and temperature simultaneously, injecting atomized water for precise enthalpy control.
Pressure Reducing & Desuperheating Stations
The Pressure Reducing Desuperheating Station(PRDS) solves dual challenges by combining precise pressure regulation and temperature control in a single, cohesive unit. Unmanaged high-pressure, superheated steam systems face risks like water hammer, pipe fatigue, and energy waste due to inefficient pressure-temperature profiles. Engineered for critical applications, this desuperheater control station integrates a multi-stage Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) with a high-efficiency desuperheater and temperature control valve (TCV), ensuring steam conditions are tailored to downstream needs.
The pressure reducing desuperheating system employs cascade control logic; the PRV first reduces pressure, followed by the desuperheater valve (DSH) and temperature control valve (TCV) injecting atomized water to fine-tune temperature. Advanced stations feature V-port trims for linear pressure control and sonic spray nozzles to prevent droplet coalescence, ensuring no wet steam reaches equipment. Real-time PID loops sync with RTD sensors and pressure transmitters, enabling sub-2-second response to load shifts.
Compliant with API 520 and EN 12952-7, pressure reducing desuperheating stations include strainers, thermal relief valves, and isolation valves (Gate, Globe, Check) for low maintenance and high efficiency.By harmonizing pressure and enthalpy, this pressure reducing and desuperheating system eliminates flashing, cavitation, and thermal shock, slashing energy losses by 15% and extending piping life. Its modular design allows retrofitting into legacy systems, making it indispensable for engineers prioritizing safety and efficiency in steam networks.
