What is Air Water Separator?

The marine air water separator is mainly used for separating air and liquid in the marine liquid system, improving the dryness of steam and reducing the phenomenon of steam carrying water. Commonly used gas and water separators are tubular separators, louvered separators, cyclone separators and so on.

Overview

Working Principle

Due to the different density of the air and the liquid, when the liquid flows together in the air, if it wants to pass through the screen, just like the sieve, the air passes, and the liquid is intercepted and left on the screen, at the same time, the air is still flowing in the original direction, the liquid flows to the bottom of the separator, that is to say, the liquid and the gas have a tendency to separate in the gravitational field. The downward fluid adheres to the wall and gathers together through the drain pipe.

Main Structure

The air water separator is mainly composed of: inlet, cylinder, filter element connector, filter element, sealing ring, valve connector, outlet pipe, drain port, pressure gauge, etc.
