Cyclone steam/water separator.

摘要

A conical cyclone separator (20) to separate steam from water in a steam/water mixture supplied to a steam drum of a boiler, comprises a conical portion (21) with upper (30) and lower (22) cylindrical portions. Unlike conventional separators which include a tangential inlet (26) extending for only the axial length of the conical portion (21) of the separator (20) a separator of the invention has an inlet (26) which extends by approximately 20% of its length over the lower cylindrical portion (22) of the housing and is thus vertically elongate compared with the inlet of a conventional separator.
