There are sixrows of these units fore and aft and eight across theboiler arranged, as shown in the engraving, to drop downand enter the 42 superheater flues. As indicated by thedrawing, showing the entrance of the superheater unitinto the flue, the saturated steam pipe is bent into helicalform about the superheated steam pipe while the latteris straight from end to end. This has the triple ad-vantage of increasing the super-heating surface; of relieving theexpansion stresses at the returnIjend. due to the differences oftemperatures of the two pipes,and of giving the inflowingsaturated steam a whirling mo-tion, by which the centrifugalaction breaks up any core ofmoisture that may exist and byprojecting it against the walls ofthe piping causes it to be surelyevapwrated and are liut two pipes in eachunit, and they are
