It’s cool to talk about, people don’t realize how much goes into operating a large high pressure version of a kettle.

Yeah, in our plant, we have three boiler drums, each with preheating and superheating, as well as a reheat on exhaust steam from the high pressure side of the turbine, so there’s a lot of heat moving.

Superheating is when you take steam that is at the boiling point for the given steam pressure, and heat it further. I believe what you described is preheating feedwater.

Not sure if you are actually asking, but yes he was.
