4. Characteristics
The steam separator is a pressure vessel where condensate is separated from the flowing steam (air). Wet steam (air) together with impurities arrive to the separator via socket "K1" and it changes the direction of the steam flow thanks to a double-spiral swirl vane installed there. Centrifugal force causes the separation of bigger density particles, condensate and solid impurities, which drift onto the separator's walls and then sink to its lowest part. Flowing steam (air) suddenly changes its direction, passing from one spiral into the other one. Steam (air) exits via socket "K2". Separated condensate and impurities sink into the lower part of the separator and are carried away via:
- Socket "K3" on which the most dirt resistant steam trap should be installed. Socket K3 can be pointed sidewards or downwards depending on the type of inverted bucket steam trap being used.
- Socket "K4" which is used to carry away impurities. It is bottomed with a blind flange but it can be modified in different ways. It can for example have some additional room for impurities to be collected or a valve to empty accumulating sediment.
Steam separators are used at the entrance of the heat receivers which have to be supplied with good quality steam (dry and without impurities). To trap temporary water swings they can also be installed at the boiler exit just behind its main valve. Air (gas) separators are used at the entrance of the air receivers (vertical apparatus, pneumatic drives, etc.) which also have to be supplied with good quality air. As a matter of servicing personnel safety the outlet flange should be turned on after the pressure in the separator has been reduced to atmospheric pressure. Because of high operating temperatures the separator should be isolated. It should be installed on the pipeline only in the vertical position (socket K4 downward). Medium flow direction for sockets K1 and K2 is optional.
