Baffle Type Steam Separator SS-12 Series
Steam Separator
The purpose of the steam separator is to provide dry and clean steam.
Working principle of the separator:
In a steam line, it is not possible to collect all of the water droplets in the lower part of the pipe cross-section. For this reason, steam containing water particles is directed by centrifugal motion when it enters the separator. The separated water particles accumulate in the lower part of the separator (in the collection chamber) and the condensate collected there can be discharged by a steam trap.
This separator can also be used in compressed air or gas systems.
Requirements and Warnings
Wet steam is a significant problem in steam systems, because it can cause process and maintenance problems including low efficiency, erosion and corrosion. Separators are designed to remove moisture from the steam flow efficiently.
