Vane pack
The working principle is the impingement separation, involving the combined actions of
Gas with inertial forces, gravitational forces, gas stream and surface tension. More in detail:
suspended
liquids
! For vane type:
The inlet gas stream is forced through a special package of parallel zigzag deflected
plates, thus causing repeated directional changes of the gas stream. In doing so the
liquid particles present in the gas impinge and are deposited on the plate walls or
trapped in the vane hooks. Liquid drops are then piped down to the lower section of the
vessel.
mesh the inertia of the droplets causes them to contact the wire surface, to coalesce and
Wire mesh separator ultimately to drain as large droplets. The entrapped liquid is then collected in the lower
section of the vessel.
The efficiency is 98% of all 5 micron particles and 99.5% of all 10 micron particles.
Features
Materials
The Separator body is generally made of carbon steel, while the Vanes and Wire Meshes
are generally made of stainless steel. However other materials can be used depending
on the service of the Separator.
