Abstract
The present application provides a pre-separator for use with a flow of steam entering a moisture separator reheater. The pre-separator may include a neck, an internal baffle, a wall, a first pathway defined between the neck and the internal baffle, and a second pathway defined between the internal baffle and the wall. The first pathway and the second pathway create a Coanda effect for the flow of steam entering the moisture separator reheater.

A pre-separator for use with a flow of steam entering a moisture separator reheater, comprising:
- a neck;
- an internal baffle;
- a wall;
- a first pathway defined between the neck and the internal baffle;
- the first pathway extending from a first inlet to a first outlet;
- and
- a second pathway defined between the internal baffle and the wall;
- the second pathway extending from a second inlet to a second outlet;
- wherein the first pathway and the second pathway create a Coanda effect for the flow of steam by turning the flow of steam substantially ninety degrees and only once between the first and second inlets and the first and second outlets before entering the moisture separator reheater.
