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: a humid steam branch pipe is installed in the side wall of the vertical housing. Separation units are located as an annular row inside the housing and form an inlet chamber together with its side wall. A moisture separator has a moisture pre-separation device in the form of guide plates installed in the inlet chamber so that corresponding moisture crossover cavities are formed relative to the side wall of the housing. Guide plates of the pre-separation device are installed in the inlet chamber in series in the direction from the humid steam supply branch pipe to the diametrically opposite side; with that, rear vertical edge of each previous guide plate is attached to the side wall of the housing, and front vertical edge of each successive plate is installed relative to rear vertical edge of the previous guide plate with formation of a moisture intake opening that is interconnected with the corresponding moisture crossover cavities of the moisture pre-separation device.

EFFECT: moisture separator structure allows decreasing its dimensions as to height and improving operating efficiency of the moisture pre-separation device.
