<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 with a wall having an inner surface 204a that is operative to define a passageway that extends longitudinally between the inlet opening 202 and the outlet opening 210. A slot 212 is suitably formed so as to pass through the inner surface 204a and the outer surface 204b of the wall of the chamber 204. A plurality of spinner blades 208 is suitably disposed within the passageway so as to be positioned below the slot 212. 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 concomitantly thereby cause through the influence of centrifugal force droplets of liquid in the flow of the vapor-liquid mixture that is subjected to spinning up against the inner surface 204a of the wall of the chamber 204 and through the slot 212 formed therein. 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> |
