TECHNOLOGY FORMING AND SEPARATING CONDENSATE FROM GAS MIXTURE AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: condensate precipitation. SUBSTANCE: heterogeneous condensation takes place in process of distillation of gas mixture in confuser with drops of condensate of low-boiling components of mixture subject to separation fed to inlet of confuser in advance. Condensation occurs in passage of confuser-diffuser shape with central axially symmetric body movable in axial direction and provided with slit holes for condensate extraction located in walls of diffuser and front part of central body in minimal section of facility and with slit holes located in widest part of central body across diffuser outlet. Facility also has condensate sprinkler mounted at inlet to confuser, discharge and drain lines. Use of technology and facility makes it possible to condensate low- boiling components of gas mixture with low energy loss and to integrate processes of condensate extraction and separation from gas mixture in single facility and to use said facility in the capacity of throttle reducing pressure of high-pressure gas. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of technology and facility for condensate separation. 8 cl, 1 dwg
