Droplet separators 99% efficient for droplets >10
microns
31L-CLC (L1C)
separator specifications
Fully welded pressure vessel fabricated to ASME Code Section VIII Division
1 with stamp, has no serviceable/moving components, requires zero maintenance.
This is a two-stage design with the 1st stage coalescing droplets
larger than 5 microns in diameter into droplets larger than 10 microns in
diameter with a coarse mesh pad. The 2nd stage is per the
standard design where the combination of indirect pathway, inertia and gravity
separate droplets larger than 10 microns in diameter with 99% efficiency.
This separator design is more costly than a standard 31L/L1 design due to the
flanged body, a requirement in case the mesh pad requires cleaning or
replacement.
Separates entrained droplets and particles larger than 5 microns in
diameter with 99% efficiency
Maximum separation rate is equivalent to 5% of its maximum rated mass flow
capacity when installed horizontally and will NOT separate slugs of liquid; 20%
when installed vertically for a downwards flow path and will separate slugs of
liquid.
The separator size required is based upon the required vessel length and
diameter and not necessarily the corresponding inlet and outlet pipeline size;
thus, we size the nozzle to match the pipeline for which it is installed into.
Typically manufactured from pipe, they can be
fabricated from rolled plate; standard materials include carbon
steel, 304L SS and 316L SS although they can be fabricated in other
alloys when required. Customizations include support legs,
additional ports and non-flanged connections.
