Abstract
In a device for separating the moisture contained in the cycling steam discharged out of a steam turbine and reheating the low-temperature steam is disclosed, a central chamber is defined between a pair of moisture separating structures and the bottoms of the central chamber, and the separating structures are closed by a closure structure. A steam chamber which is in communication with the central chamber is defined by a pair of side walls and the upper edge of each of the pair of side walls is loosely fitted into a guide groove defined by a pair of spaced guide plates which in turn are securely joined to the inner surface of the cylindrical shell.
