YARWAY TEMPLOW® STEAM DESUPERHEATER
InstallatIon and MaIntenance InstructIons
Before installation these instructions must be fully read and understood
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The Yarway TempLow Desuperheater (also
model 91 and 93) responds to pneumatic or
electric signals generated by a temperature
instrumentation control loop to provide
automatic introduction and metering of
cooling water for steam temperature control.
This desuperheating process effectively
and efficiently cools steam in accordance
to a thermodynamic heat balance at
constantpressure.
Desuperheating water, at a pressure at least
50 psi above steam pressure, enters the
valve at a flanged inlet. Water flows down
through the jacket to the seating area above
the disc where tight shutoff is achieved.
Whenthetemperaturecontrol unit signals for a
reduction in steam temperature, the pneumatic
actuator moves the stem/disc downward,
progressively uncovering a series ofvortex
feedholes. The water enters the vortex,
acquires a rotational sense and exits the spray
nozzle as a thin spinning conical fan which
immediately breaks up into a finely atomized
mist of water droplets. These mix with the
superheated steam for rapid evaporation.
There are seven stages of water control for
each vortex nozzle. Multiple nozzles are fitted
to the spray cylinder, thus giving a fine control
capability and fast response to a change
in the temperature control signal. Use of
multiple swirl chamber, orifice fan type spray
nozzles provide the sequential application
of an efficiently generated spray cone. The
combination provides a precise method of
control with a high order of rangeability. In the
normally closed position, the desuperheater
maintains a tight shutoff by virtue of the
actuator top works.
Valve selection is based on flow requirement
at maximum conditions of water need and
nominal water pressure. The valve exhibits
a linear or modified linear characteristic.
Nominal flow should be in the range
of50% to 80% of maximum valve capacity.
Follow the Yarway certified engineering
drawing for specific details which supersede
these general instructions. If the conditions
differ from those specified, consult the Yarway
Customer Services Department.

Upon receipt of the valve, inspect valve and
shipping container for transit damage such as
a broken crate, broken yoke, bent valve stem or
broken accessories. Check the documentation,
identification plate, valve tag data, instruction
manual, etc. Locate and identify spare parts
included in the shipment.
Use the shipping container for temporary
valve protection. Leave protective covers in
place until ready to proceed with inspection
and installation. Store the valve in a clean, dry
location. If outdoor storage is unavoidable,
support the valve off the ground or pavement
and provide a waterproof covering. Lift the valve
by means of straps around valve body and inlet
flange. Do not use the actuator yoke to attach
lifting straps.
LONG TERM STORAGE
Use a dry, heated, inside storage area. Remove
the valve stem packing. Make sure valve is dry
and free from moisture. Apply Cosmoline-type
protective grease to the flange face, packing
stuffing box and valve stem.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
Remove all paper, tape and packing materials,
and all foreign materials. Transport carefully
to the installation site. Remove valve protective
covers and install the valve in the system.
INSTALLATION
See Yarway Engineering Approval Drawings
forcertified dimensions, installation details
andmarking for each TempLow Desuperheater
by serial no./tag no.
Main steam system piping (Figures 1 and 2)
1. The desuperheater requires a minimum
of 15 feet (4.6 meters) of straight pipe
from the valve installation to the first
bend downstream and six straight pipe
diametersupstream.
2. Branching of the main steam pipe should
not be allowed between the desuperheater
and the temperature sensor.
3. Pipe bends should be long radius type to aid
keeping the steam/water vapor mixture in
suspension until evaporated.
4. Avoid using “T” fittings between the
desuperheater and the temperature sensor.
5. The distance from the desuperheater
to the temperature sensor is nominally
40feet (12.2 meters). The certified drawing
specifies a minimum based on system
requirements. Greater distance assures
full mixing and total evaporation at low
steamvelocities.
Care must be exercised to accommodate
low steam flow conditions near saturation
temperature. A water film can form on the
pipe wall and reach the temperature sensor.
6. The temperature sensor should be mounted
in accordance with manufacturer’s
recommendation. Yarway recommends
mounting in the top of the line ± 45°.
The sensor should not be mounted at the
outside of an elbow.
7. The steam velocity can be increased by
reducing the steam pipe size by one or
two sizes for the distance between the
desuperheater and the sensor.
8. Desuperheater applications requiring
control over large turn down load ranges
can utilize split range control from a
single sensor for multiple desuperheaters
installed in the steam pipe.
9. Steam dump systems may require multiple
units to control maximum temperature.
Pipe mounting orientation
1. The desuperheater may be mounted at90°
to the steam line for all orientations of
steam flow.
2. The “vertical-up” position is preferred for
the valve stem and actuator. If the TempLow
is installed in other than vertical position,
consideration must be given to supporting
the actuator.
3. The cooling water supply should be clean,
filtered condensate or boiler feed water.
The source selection must consider water
temperature.
4. Yarway recommends that the cooling water
line include a locked open shut-off valve
and a strainer with 0.004 inch (0.1mm)
perforated mesh sized for the flow
requirements. The cooling water line must
be thoroughly flushed prior to connection
for use.
5. The water line pressure at the inlet to
the valve is to be per certified drawing
datasheet.
STEAM LINE
Mounting flange and pipe (Figure 3)
1. The spray cylinder should be located at
the center line of the pipe which is most
important in small lines.
2. The primary dimension variable is the
length “X” of the 3-inch (DN 80) nozzle that
supports the mounting flange. The 3-inch
(DN 80) connecting pipe must provide
a 2.60-inch (65 mm) diameter internal
clearance. A 3-inch schedule 160 pipe
provides the maximum wall thickness
pipeallowed.
3. The variable “X” is nominally calculated by
subtracting ½ the pipe OD dimension from
15½ inches (394 mm). This dimension varies
in order that the spray cylinder portion of the
valve is centered within the pipe OD(“Y”).
For pipe sizes greater than 24inches
(600 mm) the “X” dimension is 3½inches
(88.9mm). (See certified drawing.)

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use gasket and bolting material, installed
and meeting recommendations of
ASMEB31.1 “Power Piping” Code or
another recognized standard.
2. Put the gasket on the mounting flange.
3. Carefully insert the desuperheater into
the3-inch (DN 80) nozzle.
4. Mount the desuperheater to aim water
sprayoutlet points with the direction of
steam flow.
5. Assemble the bolting and tighten.
6. Clean and flush the cooling water line.
7. Connect the water line.
OPERATING CONTROLS
The desuperheating station instrument control
loop should include an indicating temperature
controller, a temperature transmitter, and a
thermo well (Figure 1).
If the steam pressure varies widely, a
self-compensating cascade pressure loop can
be added to vary the temperature set point to
assure control close to saturation conditions.
START UP
1. Verify the proper system installation,
thesensor location and the distance.
2. Connect the instrument air supply (IA) and
the instrument signal (IS) tubing.
3. Adjust the instrument air regulator for
correct output pressure.
4. Switch the temperature controller
tomanual.
5. Assuming an instrument air signal (IS)
of3-15 psi, the valve has three important
instrument signal response points.
Inst. signal, psi (IS)Valve position
3Closed
3.5Valve stem starting to move
15Full valve stem stroke
The zero positioner output pressure
(diaphragm pressure) at 3 psig (IS)
instrument signal provides full actuator
spring force to close the desuperheater
andassure tight shutoff.
6. Set (IS) at 3.5 psi. Adjust the positioner
sothe valve is barely closed.
7. Set (IS) at 15 psi. Check the valve stem
for full stroke. Adjust the positioner to the
correct range and re-zero if needed by
checking the 3.5 psi point.
8. Set (IS) at 3 psi - the valve should close and
the output of the positioner should drop
to0psi.
9. Calibrate the temperature transmitter (TT).
Adjust for increasing temperature to give
anincreasing signal.
10. With the temperature controller (TIC)
in automatic position, ascertain that an
increase in temperature will cause an
increase in the instrument signal (IS)
(controller output).
11. Manual start up
a. Warm the main steam line.
b. Instrument signal (IS) 3 psi
(desuperheater closed).
c. Open the water valve to the
desuperheater.
d. Verify the water pressure at the valve.
e. Establish the main steam flow
(atleastthe design minimum).
12. Slowly increase the instrument signal (IS)
to4 or 5 psi. The indicated temperature
starts to fall. The temperature transmitter
(TT) signal decreases. The controller (TIC)
output pressure also decreases.
13. Slowly decrease the instrument signal (IS)
to 3.5 psi. The temperature will increase,
the temperature transmitter (TT) output will
increase, and the controller (TIC) output will
increase.
14. When satisfactory coordination between
the instrument air signal (IS) and the
steam temperature is reached, adjust
the controller setpoint to the desired
temperature using the directions of the
manufacturer.
15. Transfer from manual to automatic
controlwill put the desuperheater station
inoperation.
16. Log records of steam pressure, water
pressure, inlet steam temperature,
controlled steam temperature and
steam flow should be maintained to
verifyoperation.
IMPORTANT
Verify tightness of the valve stuffing box regularly
after start-up.
Re-tighten if necessary. Do not overtighten the
stuffing box.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Spray nozzle assemblies (3) and (6), fastener
ring (4), stem assembly (2) and piston rings (5)
shall be considered wear parts. The materials
selected are such that they do cope with
the conditions as found on applications in
steam/water environments. Thermal cycling
does occur and users should realize that the
temperature differentials at Desuperheaters
are usually the highest found in the Plant. It
is recommended to check the spray nozzle
assembly, with the integrally vacuum brazed
injection nozzles, fastener ring and tack-welds
after the first year of service.
At the inspection, by use of dye check or fluor
penetrant investigation, these parts shall be
checked for cracks. Parts with hair crack
indications shall not be re-used. ‘Defect free’
heads in such installations shall be inspected
once per 2 year of operation.
It is advised to replace the above mentioned
components at least once per 5 years of
service. Taking these precautions has
historically proven to give reliable service.
Note: spray nozzle assemblies may have been
made specifically for the specification. Delivery
time of such components will be 8 weeks.
INSPECTION
1. Review the current operating conditions
of temperature, steam flow, pressure
of steam and pressure of cooling water
and compare with those specified on
theinstallationdrawing.
2. Estimate the valve position from the
operating conditions and the heat balance.
3. Check the valve stem position.
4. Check the valve stem packing leakage. The
packing gland should appear slightly wet.
5. Check to assure that the packing gland is
equally centered on the valve stem.
6. Check to assure that the valve stem is
smooth and not scored due to rubbing
orbinding.
7. Check the instrument air supply pressure
and check the filter.
8. Check the air signal from the controller.
9. Inspect the positioner linkage to assure
proper non-binding action.
10. Check the steam pressure and temperature.
11. Compare the temperature, temperature
setpoint of the controller and the steam
pressure to provide a minimum margin
above saturation.
12. Blow down the strainer-changes in water
inlet pressures indicate a contaminated
supply.
13. Evaluate.
14. If operation conditions permit:
manually cause small changes to
thesystem
1. To stroke valve.
2. To change temperature.
3. Note changes.
15. If the findings for the above checkpoints are
satisfactory, return the valve to service.
ASSEMBLY, INSPECTION AND OVERHAUL
1. Isolate (valve out) the desuperheater valve
from the system.
2.
CAUTION: secure the steam line by shutting
off the block valves. Cool the line and
vent, assure the steam line is cold and
depressurized. Shut off the water supply.
3. Stroke the valve full open to fully closed.
Check the stroke and adjustments. Note the
smoothness of operation. Repeat several
times noting the positioner gage readings.
Observe the motion and inspect for freeness
and proper action.
4. Disconnect and remove the valve.
CAUTION: use care in lifting by using the
proper sling rigging. Assure proper removal
without bending the positioner linkages, etc.
5. Check leakage.
6. Connect the temporary supply of water to
the inlet port.
7. Increase the water pressure to approximate
the difference between the installed
water pressure and the steam pressure
(differential pressure).
8. Factory test: leakage allowed 7 drops per
minute at 550 psig.

VALVE TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
MalfunctionReasonCorrective action
Low temperatureValve cycling, low system flow, valve throttling too close to seat1. Reduce water pressure
Must be steam saturated pressure plus 50 psi
Low temperatureController action reversed1. Check system signal sense
Low temperatureWater pressure too high1. Reduce inlet water pressure
Low temperatureValve does not shut off1. Check valve stroke
2. Check 3.5 psi Instrument Signal (IS) shutoff point
Low temperatureValve seat leakage indicated1. Secure system and evaluate seat leakage
High temperature, no controlWater pressure at valve inlet less than specified1. Open water valve
2. Blow down strainer
3. Check supply pressure
High temperature, no controlAir pressure to actuator/positioner1. Air pressure too low. Adjust to 40-50 psi
2. Clean air set filter
3. Blow down air supply line
4. Check for moisture in instrument air
High temperature, no controlWater pressure at valve as specified1. Check valve stroke
2. Check water temperature
3. Check for valve plugging
4. Check water quality
Hunting or limit cyclingTemperature setpoint too close to saturation pressure temperature1. Increase temperature (steam superheat)
2. Evaluate and readjust controller action
Hunting or limit cyclingTemperature controller tuning not correct1. Positioner arm link bent, loose or binding
Hunting or limit cyclingValve binding or friction1. Check packing adjustment (some leakage expected)
