The steam-water separator is used in steam, compressed air and other gas systems to remove the water contained in the steam, air or gas system. The steam-water separator collects the separated water droplets along the inclined pipe wall and then discharges them from the bottom drain. The steam-water separator can ensure the dryness of the steam used in the equipment.
Q: How does an industrial steam moisture separator work?
A: It uses internal baffles or a centrifugal cyclone design to force liquid droplets out of the steam flow, collecting them at the bottom.
Q: What moisture removal efficiency should a separator achieve?
A: High-performance separators are engineered to remove up to 99% of entrained water particles from the steam stream.
Q: Where is the best location to install a steam separator?
A: Directly upstream of moisture-sensitive equipment, such as pressure reducing valves, flow meters, and steam turbines.
Q: Does a steam separator require a steam trap?
A: Yes. A separator collects the separated water, but it needs a dedicated steam trap connected to the bottom drain to discharge it.
