摘要:
An improved spray nozzle assembly for use in a steam desuperheating device that is adapted to spray cooling water into a flow of superheated steam. The nozzle assembly is of simple construction with relatively few components, and thus requires a minimal amount of maintenance. In addition, the nozzle assembly is specifically configured to, among other things, prevent thermal shock to prescribed internal structural components thereof, to prevent “sticking” of a valve element thereof, and to create a substantially uniformly distributed spray of cooling water for spraying into a flow of superheated steam in order to reduce the temperature of the steam.

The present invention inserts and retrieves a desuperheating assembly from within a pressurized steam header through an existing conduit that joins the steam header to the surrounding environment. A gate valve is disposed within the connecting conduit obstructing access to the steam header when closed. The spray nozzle of the desuperheating assembly is attached to a fluid supply pipe and is placed within the conduit on the side of the gate valve that is exposed to the ambient environment. A gas impervious seal is produced between the conduit and the fluid supply pipe so as to isolate the spray nozzle between the gate valve and the gas impervious seal. The gate valve is opened exposing the spray nozzle to the steam header. The supply pipe is advanced past the gas impervious seal, which in turn, drives the spray nozzle into the steam header. Water or steam atomized water can be supplied to the spray nozzle from an external source through the supply pipe that extends from the spray nozzle within the steam header, past the gas impervious seal, to a point external of the vessel. When retrieving the spray nozzle from within the steam header, the supply pipe is retracted past the gas impervious seal within the connecting conduit. As such, the spray nozzle is retracted into the connecting conduit past the gate valve. The gate valve is closed and the spray nozzle is isolated from the steam header. The pressure surrounding the spray nozzle is vented to ambient and the spray nozzle can then be removed without adversely effecting the flow of steam within the steam header. The spray nozzle can then be repaired or replaced and returned into the steam header as described.

The steam throttle valve has a number of water injection ducts distributed around the valve axis within a thin-walled hollow member which extends around the valve axis. A thin-walled water supply duct in a bore in the valve casing cover supplies water to the hollow member. The member is annular and is retained between two assembled parts of the valve, namely the cover and a valve cage. Constructing the ducts in this way obviates thermal stress cracking near them.

An attemperator in the form of a steam desuperheater is disclosed herein and comprises a water tube adapted to be connected to a source of water under high pressure and a spray tube communicating with the water tube through a flow-control device for controlling the flow of water from the water tube to the spray tube. The spray tube is adapted to be located in a steam line for injecting cooling water into the steam when its temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature and accordingly is formed with one or more nozzles for injecting a spray of water travelling along an expanding swirling path into the steam, the water being atomized into small droplets which easily evaporate in the steam. Preferably, a plurality of nozzles are provided arranged in rows extending axially of the spray tube and the rows are circumferentially spaced apart. Also, the nozzles preferably communicate with the inside of the spray tube through a series of small ports. A piston movable axially within the spray tube controls the quantity of water discharged into the steam.

In a steam reforming valve having pressure-reducing valve means for reducing the pressure of superheated steam at high temperature and high pressure and temperature reducing means for reducing the temperature of said superheated steam by spraying water thereinto, a perforated plate comprises a part fixed to a main structure of the steam reforming valve on the downstream side of the temperature reducing means with respect to the direction of flow of the steam within the main structure and a disc part held by the fixed part and having a plurality of through-holes for passing therethrough steam and sprayed water. The disc part is of a construction whereby it has a free end relative to the fixed part.
