Abstract
A separator, subassembly for a separator, and method for heating a second outlet of a separator are disclosed. The separator has a housing with an inlet configured for introduction of a fluid stream into the housing, a first outlet configured for discharge of the fluid stream from the housing, and a second outlet configured for discharge from the housing of deposits which have been separated from the fluid stream. The separator also has, within the housing, a heat-conducting element within the housing and arranged in such a way that, an end of the heat-conducting element is arranged in or adjacent to the fluid stream and another end is arranged on the second outlet. The separator can also have a gas line in or on the housing that is connected fluidically to the second outlet so as to guide a heated gas to the second outlet.
Claims20
A separator comprising:
- a housing having an inlet configured for introduction of a fluid stream into the housing, a first outlet configured for discharge of the fluid stream from the housing, and a second outlet configured for discharge from the housing of deposits which have been separated from the fluid stream;
- a heat-conducting element in the housing, wherein an end of the heat-conducting element is arranged in or adjacent to the fluid stream, wherein another end of the heat-conducting element is arranged on the second outlet;
- and
- a gas line in or on the housing, wherein the gas line is connected fluidically to the second outlet and configured to guide a heated gas to the second outlet.
A method for heating a second outlet of a separator, wherein the separator has a housing having an inlet configured for introduction of a fluid stream into the housing, a first outlet configured for discharge of the fluid stream from the housing, and a second outlet configured for discharge from the housing of deposits which have been separated from the fluid stream, the method comprising:
- transporting, by a heat-conducting element, heat from a region of the inlet, of the first outlet, or of both the inlet and the first outlet to the second outlet.
A separator comprising:
- a housing having an inlet configured for introduction of a fluid stream into the housing, a first outlet configured for discharge of the fluid stream from the housing, and a second outlet configured for discharge from the housing of deposits which have been separated from the fluid stream;
- and
- a heat-conducting element in the housing, wherein an end of the heat-conducting element is arranged in or adjacent to the fluid stream, wherein another end of the heat-conducting element is arranged on the second outlet.
