MOISTURE SEPARATOR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F22B37/26 F22G3/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power engineering and can be used at design of separators-superheaters of turbine plants of nuclear power stations. Essence the invention is as follows: moisture separator includes a vertical housing, in the side wall of which a humid steam supply branch pipe is installed, as well as separation units installed in the housing so that an upper horizontal row is formed, and at least one lower horizontal row located throughout the housing height on the level of the humid steam supply branch pipe; with that, separation units of each row are connected to the separated substance discharge branch pipe installed in the lower wall of the housing, and separation units of the lower row are connected to the separated substance discharge branch pipe through hydraulic seals. Separation units of the upper row are installed with an inclination to the side wall of the housing and connected to the separated substance discharge branch pipe through additional hydraulic seals.

EFFECT: such moisture separator structure provides uniform discharge of dry steam and intense separation of steam in units; with that, a turning humid steam chamber is excluded and uniform distribution of humid steam is provided along separation packs, which reduces metal consumption of a separator-superheater.
