Abstract

An apparatus for drying steam in steam power generating stations, includes a plurality of cyclone separators having upper regions and lower ends, substantially tangential feed lines for a water-steam mixture leading to the upper regions of the cyclone separators, a water tank having an upper region and a lower end, respective discharge lines connected from the lower ends of the cyclone separators to the water tank, a water drain line connected to the lower end of the water tank, and equalizing lines respectively connected at an incline from the highest points of the upper regions of the water tank to a location of the upper regions of each of the cyclone separators above the feed lines.
