My boiler guy told me the other day that a reducing valve reduces pressure but does not reduce temperature. I assumed we had saturated steam pressure on both sides therefore if we drop pressure, we also drop temperature which can be found on the saturated steam tables. The only way I can see the temperature not decreasing is if the steam downstream of the reducing valve is somehow now considered superheated at that pressure. Can you shed some light on this for me?

Where would the BTUs go? The reducing station is only going to absorb so much. You're right, it's superheated steam.

How would you set up a 1/3 2/3 prv station?

Depends on space available, pressure drop across PRV, noise concerns, SRV or no SRV used capacity required.
