• On steam mains, as a drip station ahead of steam pressure reducing or temperature control valves
• On the steam inlet to laundry presses and other process equipment which require dry saturated steam
• On the compressed air supply to sensitive instruments and before filters
• Removes 99% of all particles > 10 microns in size
• Optimal gravity discharge
• Long-lasting cast iron construction
When a vapor entrained with moisture enters the steam
separator, a series of baffles change its flow direction several
times. During the process, the baffles in the housing collect
impinged water droplets that are carried in the vapor. Gravity
causes the accumulated water droplets and other foreign
particles to fall to the drain and exit through an external trap.
This allows clean, dry vapor to exit at the outlet of the separator.
Selection / Sizing / Capacities Installation and Maintenance Install in a horizontal pipeline with the drain directly below the line.
Recommended trap is a continuous draining float operated type.
The trap at the separator drain should be serviced periodically
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The separator itself
requires no maintenance.
Moisture Separator shall be of the high efficiency impingement
type having a pressure drop that does not exceed an equivalent
length of pipe. Body shall be iron with threaded or flanged
connections. A threaded bottom drain shall be provided for
the installation of a trap to discharge any accumulated liquid.
