Device for the drying of wet steam and subsequent superheating of the dry steam

According to the invention, the efficiency of plants for the drying and subsequent superheating of wet steam can be improved by separating the drying and superheating zones, thus avoiding strain and deformation of the container. The zones are separated by arranging superheater elements inside the device (which has a rough separator at the bottom of a standing cylindrical vessel and a fine separator in its upper part) around a concentric duct above the fine separator. The superheater elements run parallel to the axis of the vessel until just below the top. (RW)
