6. Separator

The stainless steel separator is the essential component for
moisture separation. The separator is available in versions 20
and 40. The separator size is dependent upon the desired
steam output and available steam pressure.

6.1 Function

Steam flows through the pipe union (1) into the separator.
Steam and condensate are separated by the joint action of the
inlet pipe (2) and the spiral-shaped flow system.
The aerosole droplets present in the steam are thrown against
the outer wall by centrifugal force which separates them from the
steam phase. The droplets are conveyed through the drain (3)
into the condensate return. This prevents droplets from being
transported by the steam.
Steam is conveyed into the upper part of the separator chamber
via a supply pipe (4) or directly to the valve.
A certain amount of steam flows through the connector (5) and
feeds the steam lance heating system.
The bulk of the steam exits the separator through the outlet
connection (6) and flows through the control valve.
