Steam separator

A steam separator removes entrained liquid droplets by redirecting flow and reducing droplet momentum, and it requires a condensate drainage path. The title does not define efficiency, pressure loss, body, or internal arrangement. Size, velocity, drainage, and accessories must be established for the actual steam flow.

Application and duty

Separation of entrained moisture from steam with engineered drainage

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary

Steam trapping, pressure reduction, moisture separation and condensate recovery

Condensate load, operating pressure, back pressure, process-control method and venting requirements drive steam-equipment selection.
