A：Superheated steam refers to the continuous heating of saturated steam, and the temperature of the steam gradually increases,At this time, the saturation temperature under this pressure will appear, and this steam is considered to be superheated steam.
1.Used as driving force
Using the high temperature of superheated steam to provide power for generators, etc., in this process, there will be no condensed water, it is difficult to damage the equipment, and the heat and work efficiency can be improved.For example, the steam engine made by Watt used steam as the main driving force, and new energy sources began to enter people’s field of vision.But not all power plants can use superheated steam as a driving force. For example, nuclear power plants cannot use superheated steam. Once used, it will cause damage to the materials of turbine equipment.
2.Used for for heating and humidification
The use of superheated steam for heating and humidification is also one of the very common functions. Positive pressure superheated steam (pressure 0.1-5MPa, temperature 230-482℉) is mainly used in heat exchangers and steam boxes, etc. The most common ones are cooking in the food industry, drying ingredients, dehydrating vegetables, and baking food in steam ovens.
3.Used for drying and washing
The drying and cleaning in our daily life need to use superheated steam, and its role in the cleaning industry cannot be ignored. For example, car washer and carpet washer.
