Mechanical atomizing desuperheater
max. 175 000 lbs/h (max. 80 000 kg/h) | MA series Copes-Vulcan

MA-I / MA-IU

The Copes-Vulcan MA-I/MA-IU Mechanical Desuperheater is generally used for attemporating applications featuring steady loads. It is particularly designed for rugged service and can maintain final temperature to within 20°F (11°C) of saturation.

Maximum cooling liquid capacity is 25,860 lbs/hr (11,700 kg/hr) at a nozzle differential pressure of 160 psi (1100 kPa) when using 100°F (38°C) water. Multiple units or other models can be installed in a header for higher capacities.

This model is available in two mounting options. The MA-I is designed for welding to the pipe line and the MA-IU is flange mounted. The MA-IU also offers mounting commonality with other 'U'-series desuperheaters (MA-IIU, MNSD-V and SAMN-U).

MA-II / MA-IIU

The Copes-Vulcan MA-II/MA-IIU is a mechanical atomizing desuperheater that is generally used for applications which feature steady loads. It is particularly designed for rugged service and can maintain final temperature to within 20°F (11°C) of saturation. In addition to steady load service, it is often used for attemporating applications, and performs equally well for both.

Maximum cooling liquid capacity is 175,000 lb/hr (80,000 kg/hr) at a nozzle differential pressure of 400 psi (2760 kPa) when using 100°F (38°C) water.

MA-IIIU

The Copes-Vulcan MA-IIIU Mechanical Atomizing Desuperheaters reduce steam or gas temperatures by introducing cooling liquids directly into the hot vapor.

The MA-IIIU is a probe style direct contact heat exchanger and is mounted by a universal flanged connection. The liquid passes through the main tube of the desuperheater to the spray nozzles and discharges into the header.
