Flanged Moisture Separator

Product Description

An air moisture separator, also known as an air-water separator or moisture separator, is a device used to remove moisture or water droplets from compressed air or gas streams. It is commonly used in various industrial applications, such as compressed air systems, pneumatic tools, gas pipelines, and steam systems. The main components of an air moisture separator typically include: Inlet: This is the opening through which the moist air or gas enters the separator. Baffle or Vane System: The baffle or vane system is designed to change the direction of the airflow, causing the moisture droplets to separate from the air. The design may involve baffles, vanes, or other mechanisms that induce changes in the airflow pattern. Moisture Collection Chamber: This chamber is where the separated moisture collects. It is designed to allow the moisture droplets to settle down due to gravity, making it easier to drain or remove the accumulated water. Drain Valve: The moisture separator includes a drain valve to remove the collected water periodically. This valve can be manual or automatic, depending on the design and application. Outlet: The treated air or gas exits the moisture separator through the outlet, which is typically located above the moisture collection chamber to prevent any residual moisture from being carried over. Housing: The entire assembly is enclosed within a housing, which provides structural support and may incorporate additional features such as filters or pressure gauges. It's worth noting that the specific design and features of an air moisture separator can vary depending on the application, flow rate, operating pressure, and the level of moisture removal required. Different industries and processes may have specific requirements, so moisture separators come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate these needs.
