Step-by-step explanation:

Superheater has two types of parts which are:

  • The primary super-heater
  • The secondary super-heater

Primary super-heater is first heater which is passed by the steam after steam comes out of steam drum.

After steam is heated on super primary heater, then the steam is passed on secondary super-heater so to be heated again. Thus, on secondary super-heater, the steam formed is hottest steam among others.

Steam from secondary super-heater which becomes the superheated steam, flow to rotate the High-Pressure Turbine.
