Combination pulsation dampener and fluid separator
Abstract
Abstract A COMBINATION PULSATION DAMPENER AND FLUID SEPARATOR IS PROVIDED WHEREIN PARTICLES OF FLUID ENTRAINED IN A GASEOUS FLOW ARE SEPARATED OUT IN THE INLET CHAMBER PORTION OF THE PULSATION DAMPENER. TOWARDS THIS END THE FLUID AND GAS MIXTURE INLET TO THE DAMPENER TERMINATES AT A DISTANCE LESS THAN ONE DIAMETER OF THE INLET PIPE FROM A WALL OR PARTITION PORTION OF THE INLET CHAMBER. THIS WALL OR PARTITION PORTION MAY BE PROVIDED WITH PROTUBERANCES AGAINST WHICH THE FLUOR IMPINGES. THE OUTLET FROM THE INLET CHAMBER TO A FURTHER CHAMBER IN THE PULSATION DAMPENER IS DISPOSED IN A PIPE SO THAT REVERSE FLOW IS NECESSARY OVER A GIVEN DISTANCE DURING WHICH TIME SEPARATION TAKES PLACE. A SUITABLE DRAIN IS DISPOSED FROM THE INLET CHAMBER TO COLLECT THE SEPARATED FLUID OR OTHER PARTICLES.
