FOSTER WHEELER combination radiant and convectio Today's central station calls for larger unit sires o f turbines and boilers-- higher steam pressures and temperatures-- and optimum quality and performance. To provide steam in the quantity, pressure, temperature and purity demanded, increased emphasis falls upon the design and function of superheaters and reheaters. Their integration with other components of equipment and plant requires the high degree o f skill and experience that comes only with years o f leadership in the field. Foster W heeler's pioneering effort in steam generator design, as reflected in the following record of achievement, has led the way for every major development in the reheat cycle. 1902 -- Superheated steam introduced commercially in the United States. 1904 -- Convection superheaters standardized with cast iron extended surface rings applied to steel tubes. Bare tubes were later used with improved design technique and improved metal selection. 1 9 1 9 -- Radiant superheaters developed after long research and experimentation. 1924 -- Water walls and water backs applied to many types of furnaces burning various fuels. . 1926 -- Radiant reheaters and radiant superheaters installed in one of the first large high pressure reheat units in the country. 1946 -- First large steam generator installed in a central station to operate over a wide load range at 1000 F final steam temperature. As a result o f this 50 years' background o f experience and leadership, each new steam generator can be depended upon to have Foster Wheeler's integrated quality and performance.
