Desuperheaters - BV 985 / 6 / 7 / 8 Series

The Fouress Range

Desuperheating is a convenient and efficient method of obtaining steam for process work from a superheated supply.

Superheated steam is passed through a section of pipe into which are fitted one or more spray nozzles depending upon capacity. These inject a fine spray of feed water into the steam which is itself converted into steam, absorbing the heat from the steam and reducing the quantity of superheat. As the water is absorbed the steam supply is augmented.

Fouress offers an unsurpassed range of equipment specially developed to meet all duties from the low capacity ‘mini’ desuperheater to the BV 985 multi-nozzle with BV-987 pipeline desuperheater. From our principals range we can also offer the BV 995 steam reducing desuperheating unit which is capable of handling the massive pressure drops and sonic velocities associated with power generation units.

As a leading manufacturer of automatic control valves, Fouress is able to offer a complete package including the control systems required for efficient desuperheating. The company’s design and application departments are at the service of the customers for advice on the selection of system and equipment to meet specific requirements.
