Filter separators which optimize the leading
technologies
Inlet Chamber - Vortex Tube Separator
section provides a primary scrubbing effect and removes,
with a large degree of efficiency, liquid and solid
particle droplets. At optimum conditions, liquids down
to 1μ are removed. This provides for a
tremendous improvement in element life in the Element
Chamber and less down time due to change outs.
The curved vanes of the "Fixed Vane Assembly" rotate
the inlet stream at the entrance into the vortex tube.
The resulting centrifugal action forces the free liquids
to the wall of the tube and along to the circumferential
gap. As with the vertical units, the liquids and solids
are drawn through the gap together with a portion of the
gas stream, into the annulus between the vortex tube and
the body shell.
The low-pressure core of the vortex creates suction at
the gap. This suction of recycle is achieved by means of
a single port from the "Fixed Vane Assembly" into the
annulus. Liquids, having passed through the gap, drop
out due to gravity and drain back to the sump. The
recycled gas re-enters the vortex tube and combines with
the main stream. The clean gas leaves the system (tube)
thoroughly scrubbed and liquid free.
Element Chamber - The filter cartridges
coalesce liquid droplets into larger droplets, which are
then separated in the Vane Pack Chamber. At the same
time solid particles that were not removed in the Inlet
Chamber can now be filtered out. Liquids down to .3μ are
coalesced and removed.
