Pressure Reducing And Desuperheating System

A Steam Conditioning Valve / Combined PRDS Valve is the combination of pressure reduction and temperature reduction of superheated steam to fit process needs, protect downstream equipment or allow the use of less expensive materials or schedules for downstream piping. This is done with a pressure reducing valve and a spray water addition section either as separate units or a single device. Pressure reduction is carried out with a pressure reducing trim within the valve body, usually multi stage pressure reduction. The pressure is controlled by an upstream or downstream pressure controller, signaling the valve to modulate to maintain the pressure at the required set point.Temperature is controlled by adding water to the steam in such away that it will get fully evaporated in the steam, termed as desuperheatmg.
These applications are normally considered to be some of the most severe services of any valves in a modem steam plant.
Jet Flow steam conditioning valve with revolutionary multinozzle atomizer and feed forward design adds to our latest generation of quality valves. The equipment is utilised for simultaneous pressure and temperature reduction of steam. The cooling water is introduced in the highest turbulent zone of the steam. High steam velocity at this point, results in the highest coefficient of heat transfer between the steam and water. The feed forward design assures soft misty spray and instantaneous temperature control over the full range of steam flow.

Jet Flow steam conditioning valves are available in a variety of combinations. These valves are made as per tailor made requirements of customers. The valves are manufactured in angle, Z and globe forms. Spray water entry is from the top through hollow stem as well as from the bottom, depending upon the process parameters.
