ABSTRACT:
A gas/air or bubble separator is disclosed, particularly for use with supplying air/gas or bubble free coating liquid to a paper coater. The separator includes three cast elements containing three formed chambers, a distribution chamber at the top of the device which supplies incoming liquid to a plurality of separators which operate on the vortex principle, a liquid collection chamber for collecting the essentially or substantially air/gas or bubble free liquid at the bottom of the device, and an air/gas bubble collection chamber above the vortex separators for collecting the gas/air or bubble containing liquid. These chambers are of cast construction and made of stainless steel so that no weld need be used. The device has essentially inline flow for the bulk of the liquid from inlet to outlet and clean streamline design with no dead spaces to prevent accumulations, build ups and problems associated with the same. The vortex separators are made in parts and they can be replaced or individually optimized to achieve air/gas or bubble free operation at high coater speeds of 3,000 to 6,000 feet per minute.
