Editing Superheater (section)

== Types ==
* A radiant superheater is placed directly in the radiant zone of the combustion chamber near the water wall so as to absorb heat by radiation.
* A convection superheater is located in the convective zone of the furnace, in the path of the hot flue gases, usually ahead of an [[economizer]]. A convection superheater is also called a primary superheater.
* A separately fired superheater is a superheater that is placed outside the main boiler and has its own separate combustion system. This superheater design incorporates additional burners in the area of superheater pipes. It is rarely, if ever, used because of its poor efficiency and the fact that the quality of the steam produced is no better than that from other superheater types.
