Thedeflecting plate is made in parts to be easily removable. Theoperation of the superheater is as follows: When the throttlevalve is open saturated steam passes through the dry pipe andinto a portion of the superheater header designed to receive thesaturated steam. From this portion of the header, which is inconununication with one end of the superheater units, the steampasses downward through one tube of the unit, backward towardthe back flue sheet, forward and backward again, and then for-ward and upward to the other side of the header designed toreceive the superheated steam. From the header it then passesinto the steam pipes, then into the steam chest and into thecylinders. A detail view of the header casting through several sections. SECTION A-A
