Entrainment Separators

Inline Entrainment Separators Inline Centrifugal Entrainment Separators for Steam, air, and Other Gases Penn Inline Separators create a centrifugal spinning action that separates out liquid entrainment droplets in steam, air, or other gases. Each are Inline type designed to fit in existing piping. The most efficient type is our "T" type design. The downward tangential inlet directs the flow to the outside walls of the vessel creating a low pressure votex area that the clean flow follows to the centrally located outlet. Our PuC cone provides additional centrifugal force necessary to wring out the smaller droplets. The cone also provides a space where entrainment droplets fall harmlessly from the stream minimizing reentrainment. The open flow design keeps pressure loss low. Our other Inline Design is a "straight thru" that uses a helical baffle to create the centrifugal separation. The body of the separator follows the line requiring less space for installation. These separators are available in horizontal, upflow, or downflow models. All Penn Inline Entrainment Separators are designed and stamped ASME code in threaded, 150# flanged or 300# flanged. Special pressures are also available.
