In this apparatus the superheater is directly above the generator; and there is only one superheating chamber instead of two.
In ordinary carbureted water gas as supplied by the superheater processes, such as the Lowe, Springer, etc.
What should be the position of throttle valve when running a superheater locomotive?
What type of fire tube superheater is in most general use in locomotive service?
What is the duty of the superheater damper, and how does it operate?
How should the water be carried in boiler of superheater locomotives?
What care should be exercised in lubricating a superheater locomotive?
As low as the conditions will permit, because this practice reduces the tendency to work water over into the dry pipe and units, as the superheater locomotive will use one-third less water than the saturated locomotive.
Describe the construction of superheater units and their connection to the header.
In all cases the steam pipe takes the shortest possible path between its superheater and its cylinder.
A superheater avoids this trouble by so raising the initial temperature of the steam that condensation either ceases altogether or is much lessened.
The Schmidt superheater has long, parallel bent tubes, connecting two parallel headers.
Aided by a superheaterthis consumption was reduced to 16.
A separator or interceptor is a device fitted to either the superheater or to the steam receiver, for separating entrained water from the steam.
The superheater of a marine boiler is a cylindrical vessel receiving the steam from the boiler, and delivering it to the main steam pipe, whence the steam is delivered to the engines, etc.
In some cases, however, the superheater takes the form of a spherical ended cylinder standing in the up take.
A blast pipe is a small pipe leading from thesuperheater to the funnel, and provided with a stop cock.
The superheater is placed between the first and second sets of tubes, where it is exposed to the furnace gases before too much heat has been taken from them.
Arrangements are provided for flooding the superheater while steam is being raised, and for draining it before the steam is passed through it.
When steam is being raised, the superheater is flooded with water, which is drained out through a blow-off pipe before communication is opened with the steam-pipe.
In the tests with saturated steam, the superheater was completely cut out of the system.
In superheaters the heat transfer is effected in two different stages; the first transfer is from the hot gas to the metal of the superheater tube and the second transfer is from the metal of the tube to the steam on the inside.
In Babcock & Wilcox boilers the standard baffle arrangement is such as to allow the installation of a superheater without in any way altering the path of the gases from furnace to stack, or requiring a change in the boiler design.
Frequently to insure sufficiently hot gas striking the heating surfaces, a portion is by-passed directly from the furnace to the superheater chamber without passing over any of the boiler heating surfaces.

This is necessarily true of any superheater swept by the main body of the products of combustion and is a fact that should be appreciated by the prospective user of superheated steam.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "superheater" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
