Abstract

Feedwater preheater having a multiplicity of tubes conducting feedwater, in combination with a device for separating moisture from moisture-bearing steam, includes structural components disposed transversely to a steam flow toward the heating tubes in vicinity of a steam inlet to the preheater, the structural components being in the form of a plurality of rod-shaped rows of profile members disposed between respective tubes of the feedwater preheater and the steam inlet, adjacent rods of the rows of profile members being spaced from one another, the spaces therebetween being mutually offset from one row of profile members to another in direction toward the tubes of the feedwater preheater.
