SEPARATOR Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: separation of liquid phase from two-phase vapor-gas-liquid flows. SUBSTANCE: separator includes horizontal cylindrical housing coaxial with inlet and outlet branch pipes and condensate discharge branch pipe. Inner volume of separator is divided into two parts by means of perforated partition located in parallel with axis of device. Plates located in upper portion of volume above partition along flow are mounted in such way that longitudinal passages are formed between them in cross section which have form of trihedral prisms; each prism is oriented downward by one of its edge; provision is made for two types of plates: corrugated plates and hollow plates filled with porous material. Outlet surfaces of hollow plates are provided with perforations. Plates (lateral faces of prisms) are mounted in such positions that corrugated plates alternate with hollow ones. Condensate discharge branch pipe is connected with lower portion. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of liquid separation. 2 cl, 5 dwg
