For further trials with superheated steam on the Ilsenburg – Wernigerode railway, there was a trials organisation near Wernigerode station. It was here that Schmidt founded the Schmidt Superheated Steam Company (Schmidtsche Heissdampfgesellschaft). By using superheated steam the thermal efficiency of a steam engine could be raised by as much ...
A superheater is a device used to convert saturated steam or wet steam into superheated steam or dry steam. Superheated steam is used in steam turbines for electricity generation, in some steam engines, and in processes such as steam reforming. There are three types of superheaters: radiant, convection, and separately fired.

They also hoped that the new S1 steam locomotive would have a performance equal to their Pennsylvania Railroad class GG1 electric engine and would be capable of hauling a 1,000-ton passenger train at 100 mph. [4] A conference was held between Baldwin Locomotive Works officials and W. F. Kiesel, J. V. B. Duer and W. R. Elsey for PRR, where PRR ...
Superheater tubes Pass steam back through the boiler to dry and superheat it for greater efficiency. [2] See Superheater (32). Throttle valve (US+) Regulator valve (UK+) Controlled by the Throttle Lever / Regulator (8), regulates the amount of steam delivered to the cylinders, which is one of two ways to vary power of the engine (throttle ...

Superheated steam was widely used in main line steam locomotives. Saturated steam has three main disadvantages in a steam engine: it contains small droplets of water which have to be periodically drained from the cylinders; being precisely at the boiling point of water for the boiler pressure in use, it inevitably condenses to some extent in the steam pipes and cylinders outside the boiler ...
