<p>A vapor-liquid -separator (124), such as a steam-water separator that is suitable for use in the drum (112) of a steam boiler, including a chamber (204) having an inlet opening (202) for receiving a flow of a vapor-liquid mixture and an outlet opening (210) for exhausting the flow of a vapor-liquid mixture after the vapor-liquid mixture has been subjected to the removal of droplets of liquid therefrom. A chamber (204) is provided defining a passageway that extends longitudinally between the inlet opening (202) and th outlet opening (210). A plurality of spinner blades (208) is suitably dispose within the passageway. The plurality of spinner blades (208) are designed to be operative to induce the flow of the vapor-liquid mixture that is received thereby to spin, and thereby cause droplets of liquid in the flow of the vapor-liquid mixture that is subjected to spinning up against the wall of the chamber (204). The passageway is designed to be operative to direct the flow of the vapor-liquid mixture after the vapor-liquid mixture has been subjected to spinning to the outlet opening (210).</p> |
