Zentrifugalabscheider zum Abscheiden von Wasser

摘要

A centrifugal separator is provided for separating water out of wet steam, and comprises a first cylindrical tube and a second cylindrical tube that is coaxially disposed in the first tube. The inner diameter of the first tube is greater than the outer diameter of the second tube. Disposed in the first tube is a swirl producer that comprises a ring of swirl vanes secured onto a hub. The first and second cylindrical tubes are provided on their ends that face away from one another with a connector that is insertable into a steam line that conveys the wet steam. The first and second cylindrical tubes are sealingly surrounded by a casing that is provided with a water drain and is radially spaced from the tubes to form a separation chamber. A lower pressure is maintained in the separation chamber than in the cylindrical tubes in that the separation chamber is connected via a return line with the interior of the hub of the swirl producer, with the hub being closed off on the inlet side and being open on the outlet side.
