IMPROVEMENTS IN FLOODED COMPRESSOR SEPARATORS

摘要

A separator for a flooded liquid/gas compressor comprising a pressure vessel having an inlet for compressed liquid/gas mixture, a lower outlet for liquid and an upper outlet for clean gas, a filter element interposed between the liquid/gas mixture inlet and the clean gas outlet through which the gas flows to said outlet, and a shield member at least partially surrounding the filter element whereby liquid from the separator pressure vessel is prevented from contacting the filter element during periods of operation when the liquid volume in the pressure vessel may rapidly expand.
