IPC Classes  ?

• B01D 46/16 - Particle separators, e.g. dust precipitators, using filter plates, sheets or pads having plane surfaces arranged on non-filtering conveyors
• B01D 53/26 - Drying gases or vapours

Abstract

Embodiments presented provide a compressed air and liquid separator having a shell adapted to be vertically or horizontally oriented in use. The shell has an inlet end and an outlet end and defines a separating chamber therein. An inlet plate is coupled to the inlet end of the shell and provides a compressed gas ingress into the separating chamber, the compressed gas including a liquid therein. Inlet nozzles are disposed in the inlet plate, each nozzle having an inner diameter and a length that are selected to accelerate the compressed gas therethrough to below a dew point thereof. Separating baffles are positioned within the separating chamber above the compressed gas ingress, the separating baffles providing a means for separating the liquid from the compressed gas. An outlet plate is coupled to the outlet end of the shell, the outlet plate providing a compressed gas egress out of the separating chamber.

Abstract

A gas and liquid separator includes a wet gas feedstock ingress, a plurality of separating baffles, a dried gas egress, and a first liquid egress. A wet gas feedstock under pressure enters the separator through the wet gas feedstock ingress. The wet gas feedstock ingress adiabatically and isentropically converges the wet gas feedstock and then accelerates the wet gas feedstock into the separation baffles. The separation baffles separate the constituents of the wet gas feedstock. The separated, dry gas egresses the separator through a straw of the dried gas egress that extends into the interior of a separation chamber of the separator from the top thereof. The separated liquids egress from the separator through the first liquid egress.

• B01D 50/00 - Combinations of methods or devices for separating particles from gases or vapours
• B01D 45/08 - Separating dispersed particles from gases or vapours by gravity, inertia, or centrifugal forces by utilising inertia by impingement against baffle separators
• B01D 45/16 - Separating dispersed particles from gases or vapours by gravity, inertia, or centrifugal forces by centrifugal forces generated by the winding course of the gas stream
• B01D 46/00 - Filters or filtering processes specially modified for separating dispersed particles from gases or vapours
