© or water) for 98565 gases without using the filter element

JS General; Filters or some cyclones/centrifugals with coalescing filter elements have at least one defect 0 The continuous filter element gets clogged quickly due to its small pore size 4553 high maintenance maintenance ont. The coilescing filter is to be used with the Membrane Filter 111162 1160001806 from

0 For the removal of particulates, liquid droplets and mist formed from gases. However; These filters clog quickly due to their small pore size and can provide a very short service interval

Short term service interval of only a few days to 2 weeks resulting in expensive maintenance and replacement costs. It is expected that our separator is maintenance free as it does not make use of any filtration element.

1 for example; Cyclone/centrifugal separators are used in high flow rate applications - not in low flow rate applications. and when used in conjunction with a continuous filter; The filter element clogs quickly and requires very costly maintenance. A cyclone centrifugal separator is therefore needed which does not have an attached filter element.

Qo _ _ Fig. 20 is a lateral orientation of the cooler which can optionally be coupled with either a first separator inlet and/or a second separator inlet. Detailed description: © Going in detail to the drawings. Figure 1 shows the first embodiment of separator 01 with an inlet tube 1. Cyclone/centrifugal separators have been widely used to separate particulate matter, liquid droplets and/or condensate mist from gases under a high gas flow rate including Normal gas flow rate y/hr for highly efficient vortex/centrifugal force production. The wet/dirty gas enters the separator from the top through the inlet pipe 1. The inlet pipe 1 is spirally wound downward to create vortex/centrifugal forces to separate particles, liquid droplets and/or condensate from the gas . And this tube stands at the top of the vane? conical shape that lies above the feather; Conical. Separator 01 has a helical inlet tube that has a small inner bore in order to produce a high velocity gas flow that results in vortex/centrifugal forces within the cylindrical housing High Vo? for effective separation. Wall tube 1 directs gas, liquid droplets, and/or condensate mist smoothly from the outside of the volute downward. It is an excellent essential feature that satisfies the requirements of vortex inlet engineering in order to provide smooth flow with minimal turbulence and minimal wear. It is important that the separation geometry of the inlet of the cyclone separator minimizes turbulence in the gas flow that can create leakage of new liquid droplets or turbulent flow of particles resulting in Yo carrying the existing dry, clean gas. 1 Gale A with a helical area that forms a flow path that works like a spiral tube This accessory can consist of a cylindrical mold for materials with a helical path The first vane and the second conical vane pushes gaseous particles, liquid droplets and/or condensed mist close to the cylindrical wall For the upper housing LY at the exit of the vane; the second m

conical; There is a notch, edge or bump 9 where liquid droplets of particles and/or condensed mist enter the © cylindrical body with the largest inner diameter (see line D (Y) of the top cylindrical housing. The gas, particles, liquid droplets and/or condensed mist continue to flow in a spiral Bottom transversely in the cylindrical structure.The terminal end of the vortex gas flow remains at 0 above the helical cutter 1 the dry and clean gas axially increases towards the helical explorer + and exits from the upper right side of the separator through the gas outlet Ve and the particles and liquid droplets continue And/or the mist condensed in the ascending behind the spiral cutter.Then the rotation movement is stopped through the spiral seal plates A and then the particles and liquid droplet mist exit the separating device from the bottom side. Gases, liquid droplets and aerosols for adsorbing/collision with each other in order to form larger liquid droplets and larger particles size for effective subsequent vortex separation/centrifugation Gaps can be made between the first and second conical vanes and the wall internal? The upper cylindrical housing is relatively small. For example; This dimension can be any suitable dimension as various examples can include a range from 1.5 mm to 1 mm (millimeter) or even up to 0 to ? mm for enhanced compression and impact/coalition effect. The edges of the feathers © f? The first and second conical are sharp, considerably sharp, or at least sharp enough in order to ensure the Hh gas, liquid, and particle mixture and in order to ensure minimal gas flow restriction. The notch, flange or protrusion 9 is disposed in a joint between the upper cylindrical housing ? and the cylindrical structure 1. Annex 4 included that liquid droplets, particles or condensed mist move away cleanly and apparently from the vane; The second is conical in shape in order to avoid (sale) erosion or creeping flow around the helical explorer + leading to carry-over of the present clean, dry gas. The Spiral Explorer+ also extends under the vane; The second one is conical in shape for the same purpose. hal; The two separators are used in succession in order to provide simple and coarse separation in order to avoid overburdening the first separator. And with this design; The gaps between the vane © the initial helical 'Yo' and the vane; The second is helical in shape and the inner wall of the upper cylindrical housing 1 for M

This configuration is illustrated in the form of; Which shows a and 10b showing the bias in sequence with each other so that 01 two material separators can make a path through the two different separators. And with this design; For the first separation device A in the sequence is a larger gap between the vanes?

What about the feather? conical and feathery; The second conical shape and the wall? A into the splitter V11 and plug into port 11B. And as shown in the diagram; Processed gases exit from outlet b. In this way; The gases are treated twice so that there is sufficient separation of the particles. 01 Separation device from the gases. In order to enhance the separation efficiency; Two separators can be used in series in order to ensure the separation performance, where the first separator can be used for thick separation, while the second separator can be used to separate the feather without overburdening the first separator. For separation of enclosed mist or particles smaller than 0 or less than a micron in extremely dry gas; A cooler should be used in conjunction with the separator in order to create a small amount of liquid condensate that forms liquid droplets or a liquid mist that allows collected particles and mist to be trapped due to aggregation. Highly condensed or less particulate matter is made of a tubular coil where condensation can collect in the liquid membrane due to 1 powerful centrifugal cooler inside the tubular coil and it allows other mist/particles to collect. As it is, it is possible to connect to the tube YY and the outlet 1 from the inlet of the Vo. The cooler consists of co shown in the figure of the separator 16 of the first separator or the inner spiral tube VE inner spiral YL on Formation of a liquid condensation that can produce) 33 particulate matter liquid/1 sec. The condensate mist cooler works for collection before the separator. In at least one embodiment; The coolant separates from the separator because the flow velocity in the separator is too fast and the dwell time is too short to produce the desired results.
