ABSTRACT:
A moisture separator which incorporates an inner cylinder disposed in coaxial relation with an exhaust pipe of a steam turbine utilizes the spiral secondary flow of a gas stream to remove liquids which are entrained therein. The moisture separator incorporates an inner cylinder which has one or more apertures through its wall. The inner cylinder is placed in coaxial relation with the exhaust pipe of a steam turbine with means for sealing the axial ends of an annular chamber formed between the cylinder and the exhaust pipe. Means are provided for dividing the annular chamber into a plurality of arcuate spaces and for removing liquid which collects within each of the arcuate spaces. The moisture separator utilizes the characteristic of gas streams which creates spiral secondary flows when forced to turn around a bend. The spiral flows cause liquid, which is entrained in a gas stream, to migrate to the inner surface of a pipe or cylinder and coalesce on the walls thereof. The moisture separator utilizes these characteristics of turning streams of gas in order to separate liquid from a moisture-laden gas stream.
