Fluid separator
Abstract
Abstract A NUMBER OF AXIALLY SPACED BAFFLE PLATES ARE ENCLOSED WITHIN A CYLINDRICAL HOUSING HAVING INLETS AT ONE END AND AN OUTLET AT THE OTHER END. THE SPACED BAFFLE PLATES DEFINE A PLURALITY OF ADJACENT CHAMBERS THROUGH WHICH INLET FLUID SEQUENTIALLY PASSES. PORTS IN EACH BAFFLE PLATE ARE IN OFFSET RELATION TO THE PORTS IN AN ADJACENT BAFFLE PLATE SO THAT THE FLUID FLOWING INTO ANY GIVEN CHAMBER IS CAUSED TO IMPINGE UPON THE BAFFLE PLATE IN THAT CHAMBER THEREBY RESULTING IN THE SEPARATION OF A HEAVIER CONSTITUENT FROM THE COMPOSITE FLUID FLOWING THROUGH THE CHAMBER. AS AN END RESULT OF SEQUENTIAL IMPINGING ACTION AGAINST THE SPACED BAFFLE PLATES, A RELATIVELY LIQUID FREE GAS IS EMITTED FROM THE OUTLET END OF THE FLUID SEPARATOR.
