Inertial gas-liquid impactor separator with flow director

摘要

An inertial gas-liquid impactor separator includes flow director guidance structure directing and guiding flow through the housing from the inlet to the outlet along a flow path from upstream to downstream. The flow director guidance structure may include a flow controller controlling and directing flow.

1. An inertial gas-liquid impactor separator for removing liquid particles from a gas-liquid stream comprising a housing having an inlet for receiving a gas-liquid stream, and an outlet for discharging a gas stream, at least one nozzle in said housing receiving said gas-liquid stream from said inlet and accelerating said gas-liquid stream through said nozzle, an inertial impactor collector in said housing in the path of said accelerated gas-liquid stream and causing liquid particle separation, wherein flow through said housing flows from said inlet to said outlet along a flow path from upstream to downstream, wherein said gas-liquid stream is accelerated by said nozzle along an axial direction against said inertial impactor collector, a biasing member biasing said inertial impactor collector axially towards said nozzle, wherein one of said housing and said inertial impactor collector in sectional view includes a pair of integrally formed axial extension portions extending axially toward the other of said housing and said inertial impactor collector and partially along said biasing member and having axially facing stop surfaces limiting the amount of axial travel of said inertial impactor collector away from said nozzle.
