DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF HETEROPHASE SYSTEMS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: devices for separation of emulgated gas-liquid media and removal of drops and splashes of liquid (oil, condensate, water) from gas flow; may be used in oil-field separating units in the systems of collection of associated and natural gases in oil-and-gas producing and processing industries. SUBSTANCE: device has body accommodating gas-permeable cellular block which consists of a set of inclined plates of porous-cellular nickel laid in layers with number of not less than two with no spaces between them and at an angle not smaller then that of liquid backflow. Device also has additional current-heated layers of plates of porous-cellular metals and/or alloys laid by alternating them with nonheated layers of porous-cellular nickel. All layers of porous-cellular materials are arranged in order of discretely varying porosity towards reduction of cell sizes and increase of their density in structure of materials. EFFECT: improved design. 3 dwg
