WCIS

WCIS Air/Steam Moisture Separator

The WCIS are used for the removal of entrained liquid or solids from steam.

How It Works

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.

Features

  • Removes 99% of all particles ≥ 10 microns in size
  • Optimal gravity discharge
  • Long-lasting cast iron construction

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.
Sample Specification
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.
